The Bigger Picture

 

Brothers in law and sailing partners of over 16 years, Anthony Hooper and Ian Douglas, are joined by Mike Roberts this year to continue The Bigger Picture’s five year history of contesting the popular Sydney 38 OD division of most major east coast offshore races and regattas. Applying a “Corinthian philosophy” to racing, even at one design level, doesn’t mean a compromise of talent as can be seen from the long standing crew of Al Beacham, Dave Newman, Dara Herilhy, John Andrews and Tony Eccles. After Southport, The Bigger Picture will continue north to the contest the Airlie Beach and Hamilton Is regattas before returning to Sydney for the Syd 38 OD state titles in October. Between offshore races and regattas The Bigger Picture is actively campaigned on Pittwater and Sydney Harbour by both owners and charterers.
