18' Skiff
The birth of 18ft Skiff Racing as we knowit today occurred on Sydney Harbour on 26 January 1892. The father was Mark Foy. Foy was an Australian businessman who loved sailing. After a long absence on Aucklands Waitemata harbour there has been a resurgence in the class with a few boats traveling back to Australia to compete in the JJGiltinan World champs on Sydney harbour. This regatta happens once a year in Australia attracting some of the top sailors. The class has evolved and developed into one of the most spectacular classes in the world. With the hard fast and competitive racing it attracts sailors from around the world including Australia, England, Italy, Sweden, USA, and New Zealand. The New Zealand boats sail on aucklands waitemata horbour from the Auckland Sailing Club every Sunday over the summer season.
