SANDERS CUP CONTEST. ERROR IN AUCKLAND BOATS. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, October 26. A discovery of the Auckland Yachting Association that the Sanders Cup boats built to the standard Rona type plans decided on in 1923 were built with an error in measurement in a certain section of one of the moulds was discussed at to-night’s meeting of the Canterbury Yachting Association. It was reported that Auckland yachtsmen were building boats which do not conform to the Rona type of which there are five in Canterbury alone. Members were definitely in favour of coming to a compromise by allowing both types of boat to compete. It was mentioned that the errer in measurement was not big enough to affect the sailing power. It was decided to recommend that the 1933 contest begin on February 1.
