Reconstructed snub nosed, wide beam 18foot skiff.

Built in 1924 by Charles Hayes for Norm Blackman who raced it very successfully with the Sydney Flying Squadron, with a crew up to 15, until the 1942/3 season.

Yendys is one of the few surviving examples of the 'Big Beamers', the wide bodied 18 footers, that raced on the harbour before 1933, after which a new seven foot beam type began to emerge.

The name Yendys is Sydney spelt backwards.

Donated to the Sydney Heritage Fleet by Mr J Allen of Rozelle in 1977 and restored by apprentices from Cockatoo Island between 1977 and 1983 under the supervision of Mr George McGoogan and Mr Russel Barton courtesy of the Vickers Cockatoo Dockyard Ltd.
