About
The Royal Australian Naval Sailing Association exists to encourage sailing within the Navy. We were originally established as the Australia Station of the Royal Naval Sailing Association in 1947, but in 1966, with the blessing RNSA, were launched in our own right as RANSA. RANSA has had a continuing history of involvement in the local Sydney sailing scene ever since. RANSA has a busy racing schedule throughout the year, including a Winter Point Score Series on Saturdays, a Midweek Series on Wednesday afternoons, and a Friday Twilight Series during the summer months.
Additionally RANSA is a keen supporter of Navy sailing activities. Social events are also regular items on our calendar. Monthly “theme” dinner nights and after race barbeques are very popular, as are weekend cruises and annual “Pirate's Day”.
