Sydney-Hobart photo exhibition
Sydney Hobart Yacht Race Historical Photographic Exhibition at the Australian National Maritime Museum – November 2014 to March 2015To help celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the Australian National Maritime Museum has created an intimate photographic exhibition in the Tasman Light Gallery.
In collaboration with Ian Mainsbridge, Richard Bennett, Daniel Forster, Carlo Borlenghi and design houses Reichel Pugh and Farr Yacht Design, the exhibition highlights some magnificent images captured over the 69 year history of the race and demonstrates the advances in yacht design from sketch drawings of Kathleen Gillett to CAD drawings of 100 foot maxi yachts.
One of the toughest ocean races in the world, this international sporting event began in 1945 when a cruise to Hobart became a race amongst friends from the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.
David Payne, Curator, at the Australian National Maritime Museum has created an excellent online digital story which compliments the exhibition on display in the Tasman Light Gallery.
