NEVILLE TURBIT
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.
