RANGI'S PERFORMANCE.
TRANSTASMAN RACE. ATTITUDE OF THE SQUADRON. " One of the principal features of the past season was the transtasman race," said the commodore of the Royal NewZealand Yacht Squadron, Mr. N. L. Macky, at the annual prize-giving ceremony last evening. " The squadron took a certain stand in respect of the Rangi. Whether it was right or wrong is open to anyone to judge. To Mr. Erling Tambs we offer our congratulations on winning the race, and to Lieutenant-Commander W. C. Julcr and the crew wljo sailed with him we offer our congratulations on a successful venture, which was against the opinions of the officials of the club. He sailed across the Tasman and back successfully and meritoriously." " The race was a very large venture and to a certain extent J am inclined to agree with the view of the commodore," said Rear-Admiral Geoffrey Blake. "You need for. a race like that a particular type of boat which is not quite suitable for cruising or racing in homo waters. I think such a race needs a craft which possesses some qualifications which are not ordinarily found in the usual cruising classes."
