Our mission through the Belmont 16s Sailing Club Foundation is to provide opportunities for junior sailing and secure the future of our sport for many generations to come.
Our Club’s foundation aims to ensure that sailors continue to compete at a world-class level for another century.
Who is the Australian Sports Foundation?
