The News, Culture and Practice of Sailing woodenboats
in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
Broadening the Band
If you have been reading SWS for a while you will have heard me express my opinion about how the Classic sailing world needs to shift its outlook from one of exclusivity (“you don’t qualify to sail with us”) to one the is inclusive at every opportunity. It shouldn’t be so much about what your boat is made of, but what your attitude is to the values of community, craft, tradition and adventure.
SWS IS A SURPRISING SUCCESS STORY
BUT TO CONTINUE, WE NEED YOUR HELP.
