Yachting

In a trial series of races under widely differing conditions sailed at Paremata on Sunday, 23rd, a crew of three was selected to represent Vic. in the sailing section at Easter tournament. Practice has been hampered by the lack of our own yachts. However by next season we hope to become affiliated to the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club and have a University fleet in the water. Meanwhile our thanks to the Paremata Boating Club for use of their equipment and facilities.

Our crew and delegate form a strong combination and are all out to better last year's performance, Tom Haskell (Napier Sailing Club) an experienced yachtsman of University, was chosen as the skipper. An able representative last year, he is in better form this season. Nick Cass (Plimmerton Boating Club) has worked in a variety of classes and is among Wellington's best for'd hands in a very popular class; a real boon to the crew. Peter Sullivan (club mate of skipper) will certainy enjoy heavy going. A capable trapeze rider, and main sheethand for many of many seasons. John Black man (Royal Akarana Yacht Club), a sea lawyer of long standing. Will stick up for Vic. as delegate on the Sailing Committee.
