An Australian Sailing Number (AS Number) is the single identifier for all participants in Sailing nationally for membership, course participation and qualifications. Registering is quick, simple and doesn’t cost anything extra. You will automatically receive an AS Number when registering for a sailing course.
The AS Number will remain as your unique identifier regardless of what level you come into the sport and what level you ultimately achieve.
Some of the benefits include:
- Enrolling in educational courses nationally
- Entering sailing and other events nationally
- Tracking your progress through the sport and keeping a record of your membership, courses and qualifications
- Access to Australian Sailing’s monthly e-newsletter Nautical News
- Personal Accident insurance cover whilst your AS Number is current.
Each person needs their own individual AS Number, so for example, a child enrolling in a Tackers course needs their own AS Number, registration cannot be done using a parents AS Number.
You receive an AS Number as part of the process of registering for an Academy course or by becoming a General or Crew member of the Club.
Your AS Number and Training Membership covers you for the duration of your course and for a period of 3 months after the course finish date. For more details about membership of NCYC please click through to our Membership Information.
