What is 18 feet about anything on that boat? I count 11 crew heads,that is 22 feet.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Bobby Thanks for your comment, we're pretty sure this is an 18-footer (the hull length being 18ft) as they fitted more than 11 on board in the early days. Check out these other great Hall images :

Cheers!

Sloop IOLE near Bradleys Head, Sydney Harbour

The lonely Doric column came from the (second?) Sydney Post Office in George Street: A plaque at the site reads: "In 1847 six Doric columns were erected at the GPO George Street on land originally bought by Governor Macquarie for a hogshead of brandy and fifty pounds. In 1863 the GPO was demolished and in the 1870's prior to the completion of the current GPO the 10 metre, 2 tonne columns were salvaged from the site. In 1871, this column was moved to Bradley's head to mark one nautical mile from the centre of the Martello Tower at Fort Denison and was used to provide accurate sea trial measurements. At the request of the government astronomer another column was erected at Lady Hay's estate at Crow's Nest which is now the site of North Sydney Demonstration School. This column was used for time calculation from the Sydney observatory. When the harbour tunnel was built the column was moved to Mount Street Plaza, North Sydney. Three columns were made into gateposts for a house, "Melrose", on old South Head Rd opposite Centennial Park. Later they were moved to Vaucluse House. The whereabouts of these columns is now unknown"

Andy Brill Thanks Andy - the Roman Historians / sailors must have appreciated the Doric-style marker. They have had rather action-packed lives for columns!

"Sloop" IOLE? This yacht is a "yawl", not a "sloop" …

Rye Harbour?

Hows about Rye in the UK? It would seem that there was a Thomas Hinds and Sons Timber Merchants who donated a warehouse to the Rye Heritage Museum which has a lot of buildings very similar those we see in this shot. www.google.es/maps/place/Rye+Heritage+Centre/@50.9497437,... books.google.es/books?id=5IiIAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT155&lp...

I think the Boxhill referenced on lots of the Dillon photos should actually be Bexhill instead.
