YACHTING CONTROL

No End Yet to Deadlock With Auckland By Telegraph—Press Association. Half Moon Bay, January 28. A meeting of the New Zealand Yachting Connell was held yesterday when the following delegates were present: Messrs, G. Tanner and E. Harlen (Wellington), F. Biggs and T. Bragg (Southland), G. Curtis and W. Beanland (Canterbury), and W. Martin and T. Anderson (Otago). Mr. Curtis was re-elected chairman for the ensuing year. The annual report reviewed the 1934 contest and stated that all associations had decided that each should pay Auckland a proportion of the cost of preparing an amended Roua-Jellicoe plan and specification, although the plan was not accepted. The balancesheet showed a credit of £B. A remit from the Canterbury association that the title of the council should be changed to the New Zealand Sailing and Power Boat Council was lost. A letter received from the Auckland association offered no immediate solution of the present deadlock between it and the council. The offer of Mr. E. Moller (Dunedin) io donate miniature cups for (he winning crew in the Z class contest was accepted with thanks. At a meeting of the Sunders Cup conference, held later, the official measurers reported that the steel mould had been put on all boats and recommended that four boats should lie passed for the present contest. It is interesting to note that the mould was also placed over the Stewart Island boat Rona, from whose plans the mould was originally taken, and it was found that, there was a good deal of discrepancy in tlie two forward stations.
