Monotype For Olympic Regatta New To Australia
Melbourne.
The winner of the Finn-Monotype class Gold Medal at next year's Olympic yachting regalta on Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, will have to be an active, experienced, skilled skipper, in good physical condition.
Those qualities are necessary to get that little bit of extra speed from the monotype to be first over the line, according to Jack Savage of Williamstown, a skipper himself, a student of sailships and men who sail them and the builder of 35 Finna to be used here by competing yachtsmon.
Australia, with ne Finns a year ago, now hug 41 of the class. Thirty-five of them will remain unsailed unul visiting skippers stretch their solis and slip them into the water for the first time.

I had always wanted to go to a race-meeting in Malta. I had heard so much about the George Cross Island's version of the Sport of Kings-and about the Marsa Racecourse where, during Autumn, Winter and Spring, the Malta Racing Savage Club stages its meetings on two or three Sundays each month.
Marsa is one of the few spots in Malta where there is grass.
But the racecourse itself is a combination of soll and sand; with the result that there are numerous postponements of meetings after periods of heavy rain.
