Was more than a hobby back then but not a fantastic living. I could bore everyone to death with all the technical details of skiff sailing but 18's are authentically Sydney & in local sailing terms they are the apex of the sport. The modern 49er was created for the Olympics by another skiff sailor of the era & bears a strong resemblance to the 18' skiff - because he designed a lot of them also
