Yachts Away

The popularity of yachting as a sport for all ages continues to show a gratifying increase, and indications are that the Gisborne Yacht Club is in for a most successful season, a highlight of which will be the holding of the national contest here for the Moffat Cup for the Idle-Along class, in February.

The club is fortunate in having a keen and able group of younger "yachties", some of whom are pictured here.
