When the Dogs Bark
A short film of early communications in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Going back to even carrier pigeons!
Rob McAuley, was the filmmaker behind When The Dogs Bark which was produced in 1990.
Rob had “lost” this film and regularly, over the years expressed hope of finding a copy. Here you can see his work and the amazing story.
Rob was a keen yachtsman having joined the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) in 1958. A much-regarded member who passed away 16/1/20.
The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) continues planning for the 2020 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
The CYCA is committed to conducting a COVIDSafe Rolex Sydney Hobart for all stakeholders including competitors, spectators, volunteers, officials and staff. To this end, the Club has been working for many months with authorities including the New South Wales and Tasmanian Governments in the shared goal of conducting our great race.
It is their aim is to bring Australia and those watching around the world the amazing spectacle that is our annual blue water classic safely. Fans should expect a number of changes to be made to the shore-side aspect of the race.
Entries close on Thursday 29 October, the CYCA reminds owners to enter the 76th Rolex Sydney Hobart. This year will mark 75 years of women in the great race, and we look forward to celebrating this exceptional milestone with you.
