Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Boat Show. DESCRIPTION: At the Boat Show, sponsored by the Daily Express, is a luxury 36-footer, to give one example. The champion motor racing driver Mike Hawthorn was there. And this is the start of the famous Sydney to Hobart race, with crowds of sightseers afloat to see off the competitors. About a score of yachts started, in fine sunny weather. Sydney to Hobart direct is about seven hundred miles. But they sail much farther than that, and it can be really tough going out in the Tasman Sea. SHOTLIST: LS boat through sails (key).
