Only Woman In Race

(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Jan. 9. A tanned, 19-year-ok’. blonde from Timaru, Annabelle Wigley, is the only girl to take part in the biggest yacht race to leave Wellington for 15 years.

She 1 sailed as crew yesterday afternoon bound for Akaroa in the 34ft sloop Entreaty. She is making the second yacht trip of her life, and the second this week.

“She made a pier-head jump in Pigeon Bay when one of the crew fell ill suddenly early this week just before we sailed for Wellington,” said the Entreaty’s skipper (D. C. Gould) just before the start of the race. "She came on deck and stood her watch at dawn in a southerly. She was only aboard for the voyage to Wellington. She did extremely well, so w r e decided to ask her to come down with us in the race.” A fine-arts student at Canterbury University, Miss Wigley is working to be a photographer.
