Sydney Sails: The Story of Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron's First 100 by P.R. Stephensen is a 1962 first‑edition hardcover that chronicles a century of Australian sailing history. The illustrated volume offers a detailed look at the club’s early years and its role in Sydney’s waterway culture.

The book is in a vintage condition with a tight binding and no dog‑ears, tears or stuck pages, and it has been kept in a smoke‑free home. The cover shows some scuffing, rubbing and general wear, and the pages exhibit age‑related yellowing, foxing, stains and thumbing marks on about ten sheets.

An inscription appears on the cover page, noted as part of the book’s condition rather than a signature by the author. The interior remains readable despite the noted wear, making it suitable for collectors of antiquarian, biography, history and sports titles.

At 272 pages, this illustrated non‑fiction work appeals to both young adult and adult readers interested in Australian history, boating, and water sports, and it offers a unique perspective on the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron’s first hundred years.
