It looks a little short, and definitely undermanned, to be an 18 Footer. There were a range of skiffs, from 12 footers up to 22 or 24 footers in 2 foot increments, sailing on the Harbour. Now, there are 12s, 14s, 16s and 18s.

I agree, far too small for an 18. Could even be a 6 footer. Robert Carter

Ian Sanderson Robert Carter OAM How about an 8 footer? With a female at the helm [*gasp*!] - see large size. If this is the right ZEPHYR, Miss Irene Pritchard received a specially loud cheer at the prize-giving for the 1899 Anniversary Regatta, which might not be this particular occasion. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14199199

More about Irene Pritchard and the ZEPHYR (and a photo - NB the diamond on the mainsail) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71324600 - worth quoting -
" The Zephyr, the flyer of the 8-footers, is quiet [sic] a new departure in boat building, her dimensions being 8ft long by 8ft beam, making her as long as she is broad. Not the least interesting feature about her is that she is piloted by Miss Irene Pritchard, who is the first on the list to represent the gentle sex amongst the tiny squadron. In seven starts the Zephyr has gained no less than five victories, one second, and in the remaining event had the misfortune to "turn turtle." This small craft was built by the well-known firm of Messrs. Pritchard and Company, boatbuilders, of Leichhardt. "

If it is an 8 footer it is the length of a Manly Junior or Sabot. It is a ridiculous size for adult crew and that much sail..
