Pride of place n the New Brighton Power Boat Club’s stand at the Boat Show will be Miss Print 111, the SK boat that has thrilled crowds throughout New Zealand this season. For its first competitive season it broke the New Zealand record four times and won the unlimited auto and unlimited racing runabout championships and the South Island equivalents. The owner and driver of Miss Print 111, Doug Cam-; eron, hopes to better his best kilometre speed of 94.38 miles an hour on the estuary on May 4.
Juella is a smaller version of Miss Print 11l and is i owned by John Stokes who has had a very successful season. The boat is a strong contender for the New Zealand 100 cu. in. record which stands at 65.59 miles an hour.
The boat has raced at many regattas from Hamilton to Invercargill, and is regarded as the fastest 100 cu. in. racing runabout in New Zealand today.
Voodoo 111 and her, owner-driver Bill Stokes are the past holders of the Rothmans Challenge Cup, the premier event for 100 cu. in. hydroplanes. Bill Stokes is the club captain and will be available on the stand to answer questions regarding his boat or the club. The Canadian Trophy will be on display during the
Boat Show on the New Brighton Power Boat Club's stand. It was presented by the Canadian Government to the New Zealand speedboat team for sportmanship when compelling in the world championships last year.
