2024-25 Australian 18 Footer Championship returns to Brisbane's Waterloo Bay, marking the first major event since 1990. Organized by the Brisbane 18 Footers Sailing Club, the event highlights Queensland's role in advancing the 18-foot skiff class. Innovations such as aerodynamic principles in boat building in the 1930s, 6ft beam boats post-WW2, and chine hulls in the 1950s were pioneered by the region's designers, shaping the sport's direction.
