18FT SKIFF RACING

 

The iconic flying 18 footers have held a special place in the culture and history of Sydney Harbour since their ‘birth’ in 1892, and are responsible for the success of many world and Olympic record holding sailors.

 
 

Long Standing support

 

The Rag & Famish Hotel North Sydney is the longest boat sponsor in the 18 footers and holds a special place in the history of the class and the hearts of the supporters.

‘The Rag’ has always been a passionate and true icon in the class!

The Rag

 

Since 1996 “The Rag’ has had a number of highly talented skippers and teams capable of maintaining the high standard which has the Rag & Famish Hotel skiffs always challenging for the top honours.

The highlight was John Harris’ victory in the 2001 JJ Giltinan World 18 Footer Championship.
