MASTER MOULDS
SANDERS CUP RECOMMENDATIONS [Pss United Press Association.] AUCKLAND. May 6. The measurement of new boats in future Sanders Cup contests was discussed by tho Anokiand Yacht and Motor Boat Association. The Otago Y'acht and Motor Boat Association wrote expressing its disapproval of tho proposal to appoint a dominion measurer, and asked that steps should bo taken so as to ensure that all new boats w’onld be eligible to compote in future contests.
The Chairman (Mr Johnston) said he agreed that tho appointment of a dominion measurer was out of the ques tioft on account of tho expense. Mr Moller said there was a great deal of dissatisfaction in the South last rear over tho measuring of a certain boat which had ben given a certificate under extraordinary circumstances. In view of this, some attempt should be made to have tho boats measured under a system thta would satisfy all concerned. The Chairman said the use of master moulds would get over the difficulty, but they were very costly to make, and to transport from place to place. The meeting decided to suggest to the dominion conference the advisability of considering the purchase of master moulds for measuring new Sanders Cup contestants.
