JOHN WINNING (AUS)|
| | Nomination |
We could be accused of
catching up this month. John
Winning has racked up every
title there is to win in the
18-foot skiffs since 1975 and
his first campaign with Travelodge. As well
as being continuously busy on the water
– bar a couple of seasons away to develop a
‘pretty successful’ family business – ‘Woody’
has held numerous roles in the class and is
today – again – President of the 18-Footers
League. Oh yes, Winning also co-founded
today’s captivating Historical 18s series…

| Why they won |
| ‘Racing skiffs hard at 70, an
inspiration to all of us getting
on a bit!’ – Dick Roe; ‘A low-key,
honest person, the salt of
Sydney Harbour and a great
Australian’ – Len Burke; ‘Woody
has done more for Australian
sailing than any other person
or organisation I know of’ – Joe
Akacich; ‘A great competitor
and an even greater supporter
of sailing – the 18-footers would
struggle to survive without his
support and the historic 18s
would never have got going
at all’ – Simon Nelson. |
