Successful Regatta At Pigeon Bay

Although the Pigeon Bay club is only three years old. its regatta held on Saturday and Sunday, was an unqualified success. It is the second major regatta staged by the club, and in excellent conditions there were good entries—as many as 34 in one race—and some very close racing. The regatta will end today. The South Island championship in the Australian Moth class, and the provincial title in the Flying Fifteen class will be at stake. Two-way radio in the rescue boat and a new starter’s box were recent club amenities used for the first time. Results:— Finn Championship. First race: Finnsarby 18. de Thier), 1 37:55, 1; Finance <G.
