Estuary yachting

N. and G. England (J.C. class), B. Cliff (Sabre catamarans), and H. H. Kingham and E. A. Edgerton (Sunbursts) won their third races in succession when the Estuary pennant yachting series was continued yesterday.

The record total of 135 , entries provided a colour- < ful scene and contributed , to some changing of posi- < tions among the other' classes. i D. Hobson slipped to third,; behind P. Lester and A. J. 1 Womall, in the O.K. dinghy ■ event; A. M. Holland led: home the Moth skippers, and K. Mclntyre took line hon-1 ours ahead of the other A ' class catamaran contenders. As expected, B. G. de Thier : beat his rival Finn class : helmsman, but S. Mander, caused an upset when he was successful in the large P class fleet Results (subject to confirmation) were: Eituary pennant* A class catamarans.—Chlqulta (K. Mclntyre) 1, Cavalier (C.
