CHALLENGE TO N.Z. FOR TRANS-TASMAN YACHTING RACE
CRec. 12.15 p.m.) ( SYDNEY, This Day.
A team of Sydney ocean-racing yachtsmen will probably challenge the Roval Akarana Yacht Club, New Zealand, to a trans-Tasman race late in December, says the Daily Telegraph. The race would be from Auckland to Sydney. Peter Lane, vice-commodore of the Cruising Yacht Club, .which controls the Sydney-Hobart race, is organising the challenge. He expects to lodge a formal challenge and to receive acceptance from New Zealand before the end of this month. The trans-Tasman race was inaugurated in 1934 when the Norwegian cutter Teddy defeated Oimara (Melbourne) and Rangi (New Zealand)!
