DescriptionThe photo has the date 21-1-93 on it, and the race that day run by the Johnstones Bay Sailing Club was for the 20-foot class (IS). These boats appear to be larger than 20 feet, and it is possible they are 22- or 24-footers from the Port jackson Sailing Club race also on that day, but that Club generally limited crew numbers and these boats are well-supplied with crew (IS).
