Catamaran contests
(N.Z. Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH. A keen tussle for the national Paper Tiger yachting championship appears likely at New Plymouth today, the final day of the Rothmans catamaran contests. While clear leads have been established in the other classes, the races today will decide the Paper Tiger issue between Bruce Little (Tauranga) in Carmen Geddes, and Ron Preston (Nelson) in Asterix the Great, who have only a handful of points separating them. In the A class, M. Haddon holds a comfortable lead from Bill Crisp (New Plymouth), but there will be a close battle for third place. In the Arafura class, Ray Tomasi (New Plymouth) is well out in front. Results:—
