Nicola Tyre, Yachting Australia's Education and Training Manager, “The industry continues to change at a frenetic pace and the conference provides a platform for our Instructors to hear about what is happening within their States and across Australia. We’ve had a busy year and look forward to sharing the many developments with everyone. At the same time, the Yachting Australia Training & Education personnel look forward to the opportunity to hearing suggestions and feedback from the backbone of the Discover Sailing Program – our network of Racing Instructors and Senior Instructors."
