Giltinan 18ft Skiff Championship represents the 60th staging of the contest for the world’s most sought after 18ft Skiff trophy – the symbol of world 18ft Skiff supremacy Since the first regatta on Sydney Harbour in 1938, the championship has pro- duced many internationally famous winners and designers and has always re- mained a popular event for large spectator fleets at all venues. This year’s contest is certain to live up to previous standards with a fleet of 32 com- peting teams representing Australia (NSW, Western Australia and Queensland) as well as UK, USA, New Zealand and Canada. Defending champion Seve Jarvin (Gotta Love It 7) along with past champions John Harris (Rag & Famish Hotel), Euan Mc Nicol (Southern Cross Construc- tions), John Winning (Yandoo) and Howie Hamlin (USA 1) will again figure promi- nently in the regatta but will need to be at their best to withstand the challenges from several talented young teams. NSW champions (from left) Skipper John Harris, Scott Babbage and Peter Harris pre- pare their skiff, Rag & Famish Hotel, before a recent race of the Australian Champion- ship. The Australian 18 Footers League would like to thank event sponsors Winning Appliances and SLAM as well as all our boat sponsors for their support this sea- son and also extend our thanks to the spectators who have followed the club’s weekly racing on board the ferry. Without the support of these parties we would not have the quality of racing we have all enjoyed throughout the 2008-2009 season. Finally, we wish all competitors good luck and trust that the best team will win but only after an extremely close, hard-fought contest.

When the Sydney club (SFS) refused to change from the big boats, a group of sailors were unhappy with the decision and chose to follow the Queenslanders style of boats. They formed their own club (NSW 18 Footers League – now known as Australian 18 Footers League) in 1935 to stage their races. The new club was soon pro-active in spreading the 18 Footer word and staged the first Giltinan (world) Championship on Sydney Harbour in 1938. (see separate ‘A History of the JJ Giltinan Championship’) Since those heady days in the 1930s, the club has always been at the forefront of 18 Footer Racing’s pro- motion and development, both within Australia as well as internationally. The Giltinan Championship has been the major vehicle over the 71 years since that first regatta in 1938, but as far back as the 1960s and 1970s, club administrators and competitors have also supported regattas in the USA and UK to facilitate the promotion and development. The not insignificant costs associated with staging the events and traveling to every major regatta on the world scene have been assisted by sponsorships secured by club officials, but the licensed club been an amazing source of income to make it all happen. A small clubhouse situated alongside the public ferry wharf in Sydney’s eastern suburb of Double Bay is large enough to comfortably accommodate 200 members at any one time yet boasts an ever increasing membership exceeding 4,000. Their financial support via the highly acclaimed Dining Room, Bar/Lounge area overlooking Sydney Harbour and a small number of Poker Machines and the club’s not for profit status has ensured the continued suc- cess and ongoing future of the sport. When a “breakaway” split in the 18 Footer fleet in the mid 1990s threatened this secure future, the Australian 18 Footers League was determined to rationalize the cost and competitiveness generally in the sport on both a local and international level. In 1993 it introduced radical new rules and sought the expertise of Iain Murray to design a new hull shape, which has since been refined to the one which is currently the standard for the Giltinan Championship. The League has also spent more than $A10 million (from 1993 until the beginning of the present racing season) on the production of moulds, construction and rigging of boats, purchase of trailers and all mainte- nance of the fleet. It has also had a specific policy of introducing and developing new, young Australian talent to the fleet and has financially assisted local crews to compete in overseas events as well as internationals to contest Gil- tinan Championship regattas. The results have been spectacular. Construction costs are less than they were in the 1980s, the longevity of the hulls has increased dramati- cally and the level of local and international competition is unprecedented. For the first time in the championship’s history winners have come from the UK and USA, while many recent winners have had their victories in skiffs which were not new for the championship.. The international development of the class has been spectacular as numbers increased throughout the UK and Europe, in particular.

  • SHAPE Takes You on Tour Through the Gurit World, Discovering Just That: New Materials, New Markets, New Ways!
    The Gurit Magazine Issue 07, September 2010 Introducing RENUVOTM – The new blade repair system. B3 SmartPacs introduced to the American market. Inauguration of the new Tooling production campus at Red Maple. Ground transportation relies on composite materials. Customer development – the partnership approach. Dear Reader What does it mean to be a global company? There are many ways of defining this, and many apply to Gurit: We not only serve attrac- tive global markets but are also locally present in many different areas of the world. Today, more than half of our colleagues work at Gurit production sites in Asia. This is remarkable, especially consid- ering that it was just four years ago that we opened the first fac- tory in China. This summer we had the great pleasure of officially inaugurating a quantum-leap expansion at our Tooling equipment factory in Taicang: Red Maple has added a whole new manufacturing cam- pus allowing for the manufacture of next-generation blade moulds for wind turbines of up to 7 MW. This new set–up allows us to take the Tooling business to a global level, selling an increasing number of moulds to customers in and outside of China. In addition, we have also extended our core material kitting capabilities in Tianjin where preparations are now under way for the installation of Gurit’s first PET extruder to manufacture our new PET based fam- ily of structural core materials. Being – or going – global is also true for Marine: We have success- fully extended our marketing reach by targeting new international boat building markets in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and through the international roll out of the B3 SmartPac Engineer- ing and Materials package across the globe.

My name is Paul Pritchard, I’ve recently returned to the TS16 class after an absence of 16years, sailing from Saratoga with my partner Judith. There have been some significant changes to fleets and TS16 management in that time and at the recent National and NSW State Annual General Meetings I was asked to take up the positions of NSW Race Secretary and new Tillerscope editor taking over from Barrie Heath, Paul Foster and Richard Luckhurst. I would like to particularly acknowledge Barrie and his late wife Pam for their significant contributions to the TS16 Class as it is only through volunteers like this that an Association can exist. At the ripe old age of 83, I met with Barrie at his retirement Village last week and he still has his witty edge. He is still interested in whats going on in the TS world and after going over a few fond memories, Barrie transferred all of the photos and Tillerscope information collected and published from 1999 through to the last edition in 2013.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.

This year Prescott’s son Lachlan can join the crew. He just missed the cut last year, turning 18 in January – a month too late. The Tasmanian is on his 29th Hobart, and before buying this Farr 40, last raced to Hobart on Shogun in 2012. This boat is Martin and Lisa Hill’s ex ‘Estate Master’, which he purchased in 2018, stiffening it up for offshore and IRC racing. Prescott renamed the boat ‘2 Unlimited’, in deference to his successful Melges 32 and SB20 one-design boats of the same name.
