The News, Culture and Practice of Sailing woodenboats
in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
Back to Chelsea
The Chelsea Classic brings to life the excitement of sailing from the Club’s formation in 1938, to the post war boom in sailing through the 1950’s to 1970’s including Vee Jays, Skates, Rainbows, Gwen 12's, St Kilda 8's, 14 foot skiffs, Heavyweight Sharpies and timber Lightweight Sharpies, both sailing and on display.
Gambling on the 18’s
There was plenty of gambling action on Bradley’s Head with bookmakers mingling among the crowd. Unlike the bookies on the ferries, the Bradley’s Head bookies also had plenty of warning if the police were seen by one of the punters.
