G'day Charley,,\
Well... we could revive the Sydney Harbour racing style of the early 20th century - up to WW 2. This had classes all the way from 6 footers to 18 footers... which were built like mediaeval warships. The 18 footers carried 3000 square foot of sail ... and needed a football team to ballance them ... until the last run toi the line... when the footbsllers all jumped overboard and swam to shore!
