The smallest of several classes of racing skiff in Sydney was the 6-foot class. The hull was six feet long and about 4 feet wide, so that the boat was bit like a triangular saucer. There was an eight-foot bowsprit and a rig which would be more appropriate to a fifteen foot boat. Only older sailors had the cunning to keep the things upright!
