OCEAN YACHT RACE
The. first ocean yacht race of the Evans Bay Yacht and Motor Boat Club was sailed during the week-end under almost ideal weather conditions. Although the officials have not yet received full particulars, it appears practically certain that the race was won by the Romp, with th« Galatea, second, and the Wanderer third. The race started at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday, the course being from Evans Bay across Cook Strait to Ocean Bay, and back to th<s starting-point. The yachts spent Saturday night at Ocean Bay. The Waitangi split her mainsail on two occasions, once off Seatoun on Saturday afternoon, and again off Island Bay on Sunday. Following wore the handicaps: —Waitangi (Smith and Rowell), scratch; Wanderer (HatSeld and Clark), 60min; Galatea (Scott and Jordan), 160min; Seabird (H. Roberts), 200min; Romp (F. Ibbotson), 220min; Viking (Headland), 24Omin. The Viking did not start, and the Seabird, though a Btarter, did not finish. Mr. H. Smith was handicapper.
