BOATS AFLOAT
Mr. R. Connolly hopes to have Huia in the water next Saturday. Among the first to go off was the E class auxiliary Colonist, launched on Friday's tide. • • • There is a possibility that Ilex will spread her wings next Saturday or Sunday, tides permitting. Mr. Alf. Bell’s well-known fast cruiser All. Bell is expected to take the water next Sunday. She is looking a picture after repainting. * m • Weather permitting Naiad and Speedwell will leave their winter quarters on Saturday week. Thelma is due to move about the same da.y, but before she can go down other smaller craft will have to be moved.
Among the 16 and 18-footers ready for launching off the Richmond slipway at Cox’s Creek are: Wild Wave, Tulip, The Sun, Tossup, Kathleen, Phyllis and Marere.
Spring sunshine and a .stirring breeze proved too much of a temptation to several owners last week-end and half a dozen or so smaller sailing craft and about the same number of launches were seen out on the Waitemata.
