South Australian Sailing
 The brigantine One&All is ship shape after extensive maintenance in 2011. A new program of adventures under sail is planned for 2012, subject to approval from the South Australian Government.
Opportunities to sail in company with other tall ships and offer crew exchanges will also be considered under the auspices of AUSTA.
One&All was launched in 1985 to provide a youth development program similar to that offered in Young Endeavour. If you're interested in keeping up to date, send your details directly via email.
