Handicaps ■ will be declared and prizes awarded I by each club separately. Keel -yachts, mullet boats ami launches will race to Islington Bay. and harbour courses will be covered by the SStar boats and 18-footers and smaller classes. The starting line for all events will be from the tower on King’s Wharf to a buoy moored north. The course for the larger keel yachts, classes A and B, is from starting line, thence round outside of Kungitoto and Motutapu, finishing between the launch Linda and mark boat in Islington Bay. observing sandspit beacon, Bean Rock lighthouse, and the red buoy off Narrow Neck as fairway marks. All other fairway marks are to be disregarded.
