YACHT CLUB LEAGUE
Good Record Of
The "Aitches"
The "Altches" won 8 points in their team races at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club last Sunday and so take the head of the league from the Submarines and H.M.S. Amethyst. Despite the the loss of two valuable “Aitches" during the series-Bill Hancock and John Hurden-they have completed their full fixtures with the loss of only one race out of 12-a very good record! The final races in this league series take place next. Sunday, and the Challenge Cup for the winning team will be presented on December 28th after the Christmas Regatta.
