Voyage through life on the waters with the Australian Sailing Museum.

A major feature of the new museum is the Rolly Tasker Collection, the first and only complete set of fine art illustrations of all of the yachts that have sailed for the America's Cup through its history. It includes the schooner America, whose victory off Cowes was the start of it all, and two yachts to contest the 1995 defence in San Diego; Black Magic 1995 and Young America 1995. The display also includes a scale model of each challenger and defender of the America's Cup since 1851, the history of the America's Cup, and life size wax figures of famous skippers, owners, architects, and commodores.

This private collection of art has been a passion of Rolly Tasker's since 1943 when he first began researching the history of the America's Cup and Australian sailing. Since then it has grown year-by-year to reach the standard of perfection required to house such a display.

The museum collection houses a scale model of each class of yacht to reach Fleet status in Australia since 1861 (132 models in total), the history of sailing in Australia through the decades including the early skippers and their crew, the sailing Hall of Fame, sailing Olympic hero's, marine art featuring such famous artists such as America's John Mecray, John Stobard, Willard Bond, an alfresco restaurant, museum store and much more.
