BOATING CLUB’S EVENTS WINSTONE TROPHY TO MARIE The Winston© Trophy for 22-foot ! mullet-boats was won by Marie, sailing in the Takapuna Boating Club's | regatta on Saturday. | The boat was handled splendidly, j and her skipper deserved his win. Early in the afternoon a light north - I erly enabled the boats to make fair j time, but during the racing almost a ! flat calm was experienced until late in the afternoon when a southerly came down. i A feature of the fixture was the excellent array of small craft of the Cornwell Cup class and the Tauranpa seven-footers, five of which were brought from their home port. The officials were:—Starter: Mr. W. A. Wilkinson; judge, Mr. F. Kortzer; timekeeper, Mr. C. Brinsden; recorder, Mr. A. Kambaud.
