Vee Jay celebrates 90th birthday at Vaucluse Yacht Club
Many will agree that widespread dinghy racing was born in Australia due to an 11ft 6” two-handed skiff, conceived by Sylvester ‘Sil’ Rohu and designed by Charles Sparrow in 1931.
Named the Vaucluse Junior or affectionately the Vee-Jay (VJ), the design would go on to spawn tens-of-thousands of builds across Australia and overseas with competitive racing on offer until the 90s. Champions of the class would go on to win olympic gold, world championships and the legendary 1983 America’s Cup (John Bertand).
To celebrate the 90th birthday of this incredibly important boat in Australia’s sailing history, Vaucluse Yacht Club, founded by Sil Rohu in 1939, will be hosting a special event on the morning of Saturday December 11 2021, featuring a display of classic VJs from across the era, a breakfast Q and A with some of the original champions of the class and a VJ sail past.
The Vaucluse Yacht Club remains a thriving hub of dinghy racing with a large fleet of Lasers competing each weekend.
The event is free with registration.
Date – Saturday 11th December 2021
Time – 8.30am rigging, 10am breakfast Q and A
Location – Vaucluse Yacht Club cnr Marine Parade and Robertson Place, Watsons Bay
Cost – Free with registration – https://www.vaucluseyachtclub.com.au/vj90

Sydney , australia | c.1936.
The Vaucluse Yacht Club is located in the harbor side suburb of Watsons Bay in Sydney, Australia and was the first club to race the Vee-Jay and Vee-Ess sailing vessels. Today they are a continuous force in the sailing community and offer highly competitive racing in the Sydney Harbor.
The Club essentially began in 1930, when Sydney’s leading Gun Smith Sil Rohu and Navel draftsman Charles Sparrow designed the first Vee-Jays – short for Vaucluse Junior – which was a sailing vessel designed to be sailed by two people under the age of 17.
The Vaucluse Amateur Sailing Association (V.A.S.A.) was established in 1932, shortly after the Vee-Jays were launched. This was the same year that the Sydney Harbor Bridge was opened. Members helped to build the first Vee-Jay prototype dubbed the “Splinter” to test their new sailing vessel on the water.
The Vee-Jays were smaller dinghy’s and soon V.A.S.A. found there was demand for a father-son boat. Charles Sparrow took to the drawing board and designed the Vee-Ess – short for Vaucluse Senior – in 1936 which was 3.5 feet longer than the Vee-Jay and could hold a crew of three people over the age of 18.
Members of V.A.S.A. originally had their Vee-Jays and Vee-Ess stored in “McKlellans” boat shed at the south end of Kutti Beach when they weren’t racing. However, V.A.S.A. soon outgrew McKlellans, and the “Vaucluse Amateur Sailing Association (Vaucluse Branch)” was opened in October 1939 to house the existing fleet in Marine Parade by Eric Harrison – the Postmaster General at the time.
By 1940, a fleet of 44 vessels were racing out of the club, with an active membership in excess of 100. Shortly after World War II, one hundred Vee-Esses were built in Sydney and shipped to Japan for use by the Australian Occupation Forces.
Advancing technology created faster boats over the years, and the Vee-Jays and Vee-Esses were finally retired from the V.A.S.A. fleet in 1972. Today the Yacht Club continues to hold competitive racing and training, but they now race in small one-man skiffs known lasers, and larger yachts.

In 1930 at the suggestion of Sil Rohu, Sydney's leading Gun Smith, Charles Sparrow, Naval Draftsmen, designed the first Vee-Jay (Vaucluse Junior) with the assistance of F. Sargent and R. Banks. The Vee-Jay was designed for two boys under the age of 17. In 1932 the Vaucluse Amateur Sailing Association (V.A.S.A.) was established. The members of V.A.S.A. then built the Vee-Jay prototype "Splinter". The first working Vee-Jay "Chum" was launched August 1931 and is currently on display at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. 1932 was also the year the Sydney Harbour bridge was opened.
