Nigel Sharp has an article on Sydney Harbour 18-footers in the January 2021 issue of Classic Boat magazine, with great photos by our own Adrienne Jackson. Nigel sailed on Britannia on a fresh day at the February 2019 Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart and I'll be interested to read of his impressions. The issue should appear on Australian newsstands in a month or so.
