Special Racer
Especially built for enduro racing is this new speedboat of Ian Hammon's. The boat, built by Glennies, is a tunnel hull job, carries a 135hp Johnson motor, and is capable of 70 to 80 m.p.h. The boat had its first real tryout at the South Pacific Enduro Four Hour Marathon on Lake Karapiro over Labour Weekend, where it put up a powerful performance to finish a provisional second.

"Diamond Jim" takes to the water like the proverbial duck after its initial launching.
The boat entering the water at Anzac Park. Already in the water is John Hall's "Gambol," another dual-hull boat with a 60hp Johnson, which also raced at Karapiro.
This picturesque building is Clarrie Gibbon's newsagency in Post Office Square, Wellington, although the structure at back of it is the Wellington Harbour Board building. If you're ever in Wellington and would like to catch up on the Gisborne scene, pop into Clarrie's place, get your "Photo News" there and read it, among the flowerbeds, by the store!
