Sea Cadet Regatta

Blustery weather made conditions difficult for the pulling, sailing and life-saving sections of a regatta at Nelson recently. Competing were six Wellington area units, the host unit being Nelson's H.M.N.Z.S. Talisman, Nelson teams performed creditably, winning the junior pulling race, the senior shooting and tying for first place in the life saving.
