18ft Skiffs: Change of fortune needed for rookie team by Frank Quealey 22 Jan 06:21 UTC
As the championship end of the 2020-2021 Australian 18ft Skiff Racing Season moves toward the JJ Giltinan world Championship on Sydney Harbour in March, one team looking for a change of fortune is Birkenhead Point Marina, which is being led by rookie 18s skipper Tim Westwood.
