WORSER BAY

GLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

The race for the Worser Bay Club championship was-held last Saturday in ideal weather.

The whole Worser Bay fleet, consisting of the Antoinette. Bonny Jean, Elvine, Gipsy, Maputu, Minx, Nahlin, Spinet, Spitfire, and' Valkyrie, started. The wind was a light northerly, and the Spinet, a boat which is especially good in light--weather, led from the start and never looked like being beaten.

She crossed the finishing-line 44 seconds ahead of. the. Spitfire, with: the. Nahlin filling third place. The. Bonny ..Jean was the fourth to cross 'the line, and after previous' performances sailed a wonderful race, although later a protest was lodged against her, and'she was disqualified. ' ' ' ' Congratulations to F:. Christenson on. his1 winning of the championship pennant, which was certainly well, earned after his consistent .and fine sailing, this season. ..■■!''. ■" - ,
