Big turn-out at school yachting

j Over 50 boats from 15 (classes took part in a successful inter-secondary i schools regatta at the Mount Pleasant Yacht Club on Wednesday. i Eight schools were repre|sented in what was the first (regatta of its type in more (than a decade and the conditions were ideal. According to the chair- . (I woman of the inter-secon- ! I dary schools yachting I i committee, Mrs B. G. I Heald, the regatta was or- ; ; ganised to promote yacht- I ; ing in secondary schools. ; “Following the poor;attendance at a recent Peter iMander Trophy race for (inter-school yachts, we felt I the sport needed a shot in ; [the arm.” she said. i A similar regatta is; planned for early December (and even more schools are (expected to participate. ! “It is good to see this (event being sailed again, it' ; will bring secondary school i: yachting back as a viable N activity. We are only too pleased to offer our facilities ' for such an event,” said Mr ! lan Macintosh, commodore i
