Bragg has been elected skipper, he stated yesterday that he did not intend to take the tiller for all the races: “More than one member of my crow is capable of acting captain,” he stated. “We have come all the way from Stewart Island,” said Mr. Bragg to a Dominion representative, “and we have heaps of confidence. Murihiku is not a Rona designer, but she has been well looked after, and is a fine little boat. She will take a deal of beating in a light wind, and Murihiku, which looks very fine painted a dark maroon, with white bottom, and gold band, was out for a sail yesterday afternoon.
