Roy Tutty was a speed skater who competed at the 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympics. In Australia, however, he was far better known for his prowess in sailing, a sport at which he never competed at the Olympics. Tutty was the 1981 World Champion in the 5.5 metre class aboard Rhapsody, alongside Phil Smidmore and Colin Beashel. Tutty later raced Skagerak for many years with Steve Brajkovich in local Australian races. Tutty was also inducted into the Australian Ice Racing (AIR) Roll of Honour.
Personal Bests: 500 – 43.4 (1960); 1500 – 2:20.6 (1959); 5000 – 8:54.4 (1959).
