SANDERS CUP CONTEST
A WELLINGTON RESOLUTION.
(PBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
WELLINGTON, May 2,
The type of boat that is .used in the Sanders Cup contests has not for some time past met with the approval of all yachtsmen in New Zealand. It is felt in some quarters that it would be better to use a boat which is not designed solely for racing purposes, and which could be utilised for pleasure cruising. The present boat, the Jellicoe 14ft dinghy type, is quickly losing its former np* peal in New Zealand, and in order to consider the question of making the contests more popular and generally improving the rules, a special meeting of the Wellington Provincial Yacht and Motor Boat Association was held, and the following resolution passed:— "That this Association proposes that a Dominion conference be called during the month of July, provided that the other Associations are in agreement, and in that event this Association will undertake the convening of such meeting; such meeting is to be called for the purpose of discussing in all its details the Sanders Cup contest with a particular recommendation from this Association that the entries be extended so that one or more boats from each province may be entered for each content."
