YACHTING

E.P.N.Y.C. GENERAL HANDICAP.

The Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club's racing programme was advanced a further stage on Saturday afternoon when a general handicap for first and second-class boats was held in fine weather with a good full-sail breeze. The practice of racing both classes together has been rendered necessary by the small number of entries which were formerly received for events for each, class. The points gained by the first boats in each I class will count as before. An interj esting race was won by Mana on her handicap. Details follow, handicaps and corrected ftmes being given:—. !Mana (J. E. L. Cull), 21min, Shr 29 mm 16sec 1 Marangi (B. Clarke), nor, ahr Staiin lsec :. 2 Windward (F. W.
