Collins, who owned her until his death more than two years ago. In that time the Kia Ora raced successfully, securing 14 wins in regatta events, and also made many cruises on the coast She is now owned by Mr J. R. H. Archer, who was a member of her crew for many years, and he has entered her for the A class race this afternoon.
