SailPASS is an Australian Sailing initiative to help ensure that those sailing as casual crew are on record, and have the benefit of AS personal accident insurance. RANSA along with most of the Sydney clubs are supporting this initiative. From the new twilight season all would-be crew who are not members of RANSA or another AS affiliated Club and who do not therefore have AS cover will be asked to register for a SailPASS, and skippers are encouraged to ask them to do so via this website.
