Historical Skiffs


The Historic 18 Footers are replicas of famous 18's from the period between 1900 and 1950. They are constructed and sailed by members of the Australian Historical Sailing Skiff Association (AHSSA) which was formed in 1991 by a group of ex-skiffies with the aim to preserve the history of Sydneys classic open skiffs.

Historic 18 footers are crewed by a team of up to ten sailors and have 2 rig sizes for differing conditions.
