Clubs and charter companies all over the world are looking for skippers and crew that have been trained and qualified.Eastsail was founded in September 1983, EastSail was launched on the same day Australia 2 won the America's Cup. Auspicious beginnings indeed for Deb and Pete Franki and Joe Goddard, three young Sydneysiders with a passion for sailing and a dream of owning a sailing company. The company has grown to a full time staff of eight and a team of 20 highly qualified skippers and instructors and a $10 million fleet of 30 yachts and cruisers. EastSail fleet is second to none in Australia. Beneteau, Dufour, Sydney yachts and our cruisers that are the latest in design, well maintained and impeccably presented. Eastsail was purchased by Ray Roberts's Workforce Marine Leisure Group in 2018.
