SAILING REGATTA HELD IN CANTON

Enjoyable Visit Of Local Yachtsmen

A most enjoyable meeting was held at the Club House, Tungshan, on Sunday last when members of the Pearl River Sailing Club enter- tained 15 members of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club.

In the morning there was just enough wind to permit a team race to be held in the Club sailing sam- pans. In which Hong Kong gained o lead of two points.

After tin, which was provided

ot the Club House, the breeze had increased sufficiently to enable the two teams to have a first class race in spite of the strong ebb tide. The local helmsmen just, managed to win by one point; which left Hong Kong the victors. In the day's caces by the narrow margin of one point.

As a final wind up to the day's sport a friendly "free for all" race was held in which 26 craft (includ. ing 3 "Comets" and 3 "Wakateres") crossed the starting ine. The con- gestion at the start due to the narrow channel caused a good deal of "bumping and boring" among the contestanta much to the amusement of the spectators, but the starter. Mr. R. T. Crowe. managed to get them off in credit- able fashion. Several of the visit- ing members found the Club sam- paris somewhat tricky to manage single-handed" owing

the to freshening breeze and it was not long before two or three capsized gracefully.

To conclude the day's activities a dinner was held on the Roof of the Canton Club by kind per- mission of the Chairman and Com- mittee, who al-attended.

In con- clusion he expressed great regret that the Pearl River Sailing Club were shortly to lose the services of Mr. Minnitt, one of the founders and first Secretary of the Club.
