Become One with the Boat

Clockwork is calling on friends of sailing, of the ocean, and those who care about community members young and old to donate to Orange Sky.

For as little as $10 you can 'Become one with the Boat' receiving monthly updates on racing results, highlights and lowlights from the crew at sea.

For individual donations of $150/month or a once-off donation of $1,500, you'll have the opportunity to take an afternoon sail with the clockwork crew based out of their home base, the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.

All donations to Orange Sky over $2 are tax-deductible.

    The Adventure

    Clockwork Sailing is undertaking an enormous adventure this year with a 15,000 km journey, ticking off twelve events along the way. When at sea, it's no easy feat as Clockwork tips herself to an angled approach as she charges her way across the seas. That's right, imagine spending three months at sea balancing at 45 degrees most of the way!

    The boat is Clockwork, a Sydney 38, one of Australia’s most respected international yachting designs, and we are the only South Australian yacht in this year’s Rolex Sydney to Hobart race.

    So far Clockwork has raised:

    $50,000 Goal

    Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness – an idea founded in a Brisbane garage by two 20-year-old mates, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett.

    In late 2014, the boys installed a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back of their old van and visited parks around Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free. What started as an idea to improve hygiene standards and restore dignity to people doing it tough has evolved into something much bigger and more powerful.

    About Orange Sky

    Orange Sky have a simple formula; they provide a platform for every day Australians to connect through a regular laundry and shower service. The focus is on creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or who feel disconnected from the community. Their volunteers are not social workers or experts on homelessness - they are empathetic listeners and great conversationalists.
