Adrian Walters nippy Shaw 11 Little Nico, sailing for the Sydney Harbour Regatta host club, added another victory to their impressive regatta tally on day two of the weekend regatta.
Divisional winners in 2016 and second in 2019 and 2017, Little Nico s domination of the short-course format is well and truly etched in the flagship series annals.
Most of us have sailed together for a few years, Walters said after racing. This year we tried out some new sails and overall we are very happy with the result. Every year we seem to get better and better. The MC38s make us work hard though. Walters has a busy program planned for Little Nico, including Sail Port Stephens in April and the northern regattas in the Queensland Whitsundays later in the year.

2021 Historical 18 Footer Australian Championship


The 2021 Historic 18 Footer Australian Championship for the Galloping Ghost Trophy was conducted by the Sydney Flying Squadron (SFS) in conjunction with the Australian Historical Sailing Skiff Association (AHSSA), on Sydney Harbour over 3 races on 23, 30 January and 6 February.
Nine skiffs were on hand to contest this event. The absence of Irish sailing legend Harold Cudmore due to the COVID dilemma left a vacancy on the helm of Yendys that was ably filled by Josh Porebski from Wellington, New Zealand. Josh s sailing credentials rate highly as a top level 49er and 18ft skiff sailor, having won 2 races in the 2019 J.J. Giltinan series as skipper of the NZ entry ASCC where he finished 4th overall.

A good rollup of 12 Foot Skiffs faced that starter at the Sydney Flying Squadron & Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff Club over consecutive weekends in early December.
19 boats entered the series with six races in conditions from a light North Easterly on the first day to a fresh Westerly on day two and a moderate Easterly for the closing weekend. A great test of the 12 s top 3 rigs.
The racing was close over a combination of long and short courses.
Sail Inc sailed by Nick Press & Andrew Hay dominated the series, winning all 6 races, the majority comfortably but also showing their class to fight back on a couple of occasions.
