Yachtsmen likely to perfom well

This year's tournament team was chosen from a series of races held at Eastbourne on the weekend of the 23-24th March.

The entries were not to the expected number due to several withdrawals at late notice— but the team chosen should perform fairly well.

The team led by last year's Cherub representative J. Pether as Delegate, are:

Bruce Johnson—Moth Class. Michael Pelher—Cherub Class (skipper). Hamish Anderson — Cherub Class (forward hand).

Bruce Johnson represented Victoria in last year's Tournament in Wellington as forward hand in the Cherub, and is the current Restricted Moth Class national champion. He has been a leading skipper in the Restricted Moth Class championships, and on his present performance he should do well in Tournament. He is to sail a borrowed boat at Tournament, the "Niggle": but this boat has been proved to be a consistent placegetter.

Peter and Anderson sailing "Sans Fait Rien", have sailed together for several years now and should perform fairly well if the conditions are fresh winds.

Tournament yachting is to be sailed from the Wanganui Yacht Club who have offered the use of their facilities—and as strong competition is expected from Auckland and Canterbury the racing should prove to be exciting.
