YACHTING AT PAREMATA
Tho Paremata Boating Club enters its twelfth year tomorrow. A general handicap for all classes will be sailed in tho morning, weather permitting, and the season will be officially opened in the afternoon.
Several of the centreb.oarders were out "tuning up" last weekend, among them tlie Miss Josephine, Lois, Kewpie, Monica (ov-Avalon), and Noleen. Messrs. Ballinger and Morgan's new 14-footcr Vagabond also took the water, and promises to bo a hard boat to beat in light to moderate weather. She is Marconi rigged, with hollow mast and spars, anil lias a light, oasily-driven hull much like tho Putorino. Two other new boats were seen out—tho Marie, "Nutty" Davis's standard Takapuna, and the Mac, a welcome addition to the Tauranga class. The Marie shapes very well, being fast on all points of sailing, and should represent Paremata with credit in the inter-club races for her class.
