Its course of 628 nautical miles is traced from Sydney Harbour down the New South Wales coast, across the waters of Bass Strait, and around Tasman Island to the finish at Hobart. A bold compass rose, rolling blue seas, sailing yachts and a whale enliven the route, while annotations celebrate winners and record holders, including Rani, Freya, Helsal and Kialoa. First contested in 1945 and beginning each Boxing Day, the Sydney to Hobart had become one of the world’s great ocean races. Produced for spectators following the 1978 contest, this survival captures the romance, danger and sporting prestige of Australian offshore sailing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53598966907227,"sku":"P-6-112044","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112044a.jpg?v=1784122399"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/the-cruising-yacht-club-of-australia.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
