SANDERS CUP

ATTITUDE OF AUCKLAND 1 CONFERENCE PROPOSED (By Telegraph—-Press Association) AUCKLAND, 12th November. The question of affiliation with the New Zealand Yachting Council and Auckland’s participation in future Sanders Cup contests was dealt with at a meeting of the Auckland Yacht and Motor-boat Association, and a numbei of resolutions were carried unanimously, dealing with both matters. The Auckland Yacht and Motor-boat Association, says a report supplied, entertains the most cordial feeling of good will towards similar bodies in other parts of New Zealand, and desires at) all times to maintain this good will, but it considers the existence of the New Zealand Yachting Council neither necessary nor desirable. ' , „ , Referring particularly to the Sanders Gup contest, the association says it regrets the position which has arisen, and it is willing to co-operate with other yachting organisations in New Zealand for the purpose of re-establishing the Sanders‘Cup on a proper footing, to which end it resolves to nominate delegates to attend any conference which may be held to consider the re-estab-lishnient of the Sanders Cup contests. Such delegates are to be empowered to agree to the inclusion of the Auckland association in tile Sanders Cup Council or any similar body, the activities of which are limited to the conduct of contests for the Sanders Cup, hut not unless they are satisfied that the conference lays down such basis upon which future Sanders Cup contests are to he held as will ensure that the races will be solely tests of the skill and seamanship oi crews. . . , The resolutions have been forwarded to the chairman of the New Zealand Yachting Council, also to the four southern yachting associations.
