Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Cast Off. DESCRIPTION: Among such Sailing Superlatives as the Single-handed Transatlantic winner and the famous Lively Lady, visitors to the International Boat Show may feel somewhat overawed. But, these days, water sports are for everyone - and there’s a boat for everyone, too. We take a special look at the choice for the novice waterman - the cheap, versatile but immensely rewarding range of dinghies, some costing as little as fifty pounds. For the ultimate in Sailing Sport, join contestants in the Sydney - Hobart race. Over six hundred miles to Tasmania, with an Australian entry receiving the provisional verdict.
