Celebrated WA sailing sportsman John Longley has been elected as the Duyfken Replica Foundation’s chairman, following the resignation of Graeme Cocks.
The Duyfken Replica is a full-scale working reproduction of the first European ship known to have reached Australian shores.
Mr Longley is currently events manager for the 2013 IKA Kiteracing Oceaning Championships and a former chief executive of the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation.
He has been on the Duyfken foundation’s board twice, most recently as deputy chairman.
