From Repulse Bay to Sulphur Channel the wind remained light and somewhat nuky, but these conditions seemed to suit Norse- man who made good going up past Felix Villas and did a very useful beat up the harbour to catch up

A wove coming at you from dead astern is a 'most discouraging sight, so dont look back is the solid policy.

The final order of the cruisers on corrected times left La Cigale the winner, Norseman second, and Azuma third. Under the circum- stances it was a great pity that Norseman gave up in the Lingting Race, since if she had not, she would still be well in the running for the Cruiser Championship.
