SAILING ON SYDNEY HARBOUR - THE HISTORY OF 18-FOOTERS

A hundred years ago the biggest sports during a Sydney summer were cricket and 18-footer sailing. Thousands flocked to the shores, and a fleet of ferries followed the races. Skippers were the rockstars of sport.

The presentation covers the history of the boats focusing on a number of key people.

This is not a presentation about just sailing. It is about a different era and the characters that filled the sport.

 Are you turning 80 this year?

The RTA has traditionally sent a Christmas cake to members who have turned 80 thoughout the year. Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of postage, it was decided at the AGM that we would now send a birthday card instead.

Please let us know via our email address nswrta1919@gmail.com  if you are turning 80 and we would love to send you a card.
