These newspaper articles were supplied by Peter Forster (father of Michael - the 2021/2022 Aussie Champ).

Peter had collected these newspaper articles and had them in his scrap books. (as at Sep 2023) He is 85 and he still sails regularly during the sailing season in Canberra in his Flying Fifteen.
Michael created and sent me the JPG files, I added the "Supplied by Peter and Michael Forster" watermark.

Thanks to both Peter and Michael.

If Peter and Michael didn't think of sending a copy to me, then all this historical 1956 Olympics 12sq M info would be lost and none of us would enjoy reading it.

SO THANKS AGAIN PETER AND MICHAEL.

I have tried to post these articles in chronological order.
Sorry, if I stuffed up.
