Join the Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project (SVSP) in making a real difference for our military veterans and their families. We’re a proudly ACNC-registered charity and 100% volunteer-driven, delivering life-changing sailing experiences at no cost to participants. But we can’t do it without your support!
💨 Why Sailing?
Sailing provides a unique, kinetic experience that fosters connection, resilience, and empowerment. It’s more than just a sport—it’s a way for veterans to rediscover camaraderie, build confidence, and feel part of a supportive community.
🚤 Your Donation Will Help Us:
- Cover essential logistics and facilitation costs, ensuring all our programs remain free to veterans and their families.
- Expand our monthly sailing activities across eight national locations, including Sydney, Adelaide, Newcastle, Nowra, Mooloolaba, Perth, Darwin, and Geelong.
- Support innovative initiatives like our Bush-to-Sail Program, bridging the gap for rural veterans through sailing experiences that combat geographic isolation.
🫂 What We Do
- Provide a platform for health and wellness, addressing both physical and mental challenges faced by current and former military personnel.
- Reduce social isolation for those Wounded, Injured, or Sick, fostering reconnection and personal growth.
- Create opportunities for veterans to give back through volunteering, training, and mentorship.
📈 Our Impact So Far:
- 900+ event registrations in 2024 across our sailing locations!
- Participation in three international regattas (New Zealand, USA, and Canada).
- Sponsorship of our first veteran-led sailing team at Hamilton Island Race Week.
- Supporting over 100 veterans monthly through our programs nationwide.
📅 Our Vision for the Future:
With your support, we’ll continue to grow! Future plans include:
⚓ Establishing sailing hubs in Melbourne and Hobart in collaboration with Young Veterans Australia.
⚓ Launching the Bush-to-Sail Program to reach more veterans in rural areas.
