The wind freshened enough to start eight yachts at 10.45 am. up river on a broad reach with the wind from the S.E, the course being around No. 17 Buoy to port.
Daphne just managed to maintain an early lead but Leda got close enough to cause anxious moments to the former's crew. Star of Eve sailed by Horey, came in third and will undoubtedly be a serious contender for honours when her new skipper gets the hang of conditions in the harbour.
Leda led all the way in the 2nd leg of the race, closely followed on the reach down by Bridget and Star of Eve. After the gype round No.
35 buoy, however, these two yachts stood up too near to the moored ships and allowed Catherine to steal past nearer to shore, a position which she maintained until after rounding No. 29 buoy she made the mistake of going about and got into a complete blanket for her pains.
Bridget coming third, wisely stood out for the Pootung shore to get a broader reach and freer wind to the line, which she crossed second with Catherine a somewhat easy third.
The results of the Series were as follows:—
Ist Leg:—1, Daphne (J. D. Riddell, 3244); 2, Leda (J, C. Boldero. 33.22); 3, Star of Eve (G. M. Horey, 34.46); 4. Bridget (R. P. M, Mann, '35.03);" 5. Shimurali (C. W. Macpherson, 35.15): 6, Catherine (J. S. Kenyon, 3541); 7. Zuleika (J. C. Clavering, ' 37.04): 8 Mignonette (F.H. E. Skyrme, 40.15).
