Bill Northam
Sir William Herbert "Bill" Northam, CBE (28 September 1905 – 6 September 1988) was an Australian Olympic yachtsman and businessman.
Born in London, England on 28 September 1905, Northam had a successful career in business before becoming an Olympian. He was simultaneously chairman of the Australian branches of two major companies: American pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, and British sports equipment brand Slazenger.〔(William Northam CBE - Sailing ), Sport Australia Hall of Fame, 10 December 1985.〕
==Sailing career==
Northam took up the sport of sailing late in life, at the age of 46, after taking the helm of a neighbour's boat near his waterfront home on Sydney's Northern Beaches, and comparing the feeling to that of car racing. He purchased a number of boats over the next few years: his first, ''Gymea'', which ran into the starter's boat in her first race; the eight-metre yacht ''Saskia'', with which he won the prestigious Sayonara Cup for the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron in 1955 and 1956; and ''Caprice of Huon'', which came 9th in the 1963 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. He was also a crew member on ''Gretel'', Sir Frank Packer's challenger in the 1963 America's Cup.〔
