Australian Sharpie

The Australian Sharpie is a 3-person sailing dinghy which has evolved from the 12-square-metre class sailed in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. Australian Sharpies are 19 feet, 113⁄4 inches long, with a planing hull and a single mast. Sharpies race with a fully battened mainsail, a jib and a spinnaker.  Sharpie sailors enjoy an exhilerating sail followed by an equally exhilerating evening in the bar and BSYC boasts the current national and state champions.

Current World Champions: No competition
Current National Champions: Malcolm Higgins, Sam Sanderson and Andrew Chisholm (BSYC)
Current State Champions: David Higgins, Robbie Turton Mark Kretchmer (BSYC)
