TIIO E class keel yacht Loloma also met with a mishap, losing her mast near King's Wharf. A fresh south-westerly wind was blowing, "which made matters very lively for the crews, especially when spin* nakers were brought- into iise. In the race, for class S 16ft. boats, Sea Sleigh capsized off the-Ponsonby Wharf when leading the fleet. Tho Swiftsure, following close astern of Sea Sleigh, withdrew from the race and rescued the crew of the capsized boat. In the same event the Namu overturned shortly after rounding the Pile beacon. Her crew was in the w-ater for a considerable time before assistance arrived. After they had been picked up by a 14ft. boat, the Namu drifted up the harbour to Shark Bay.
