Yachties Away

The Nelson Yacht Club's new rescue launch, 'J. J. Cook,' was launched in conjunction with the opening of the yachting season. The craft is a vast improvement on its predecessor and namesake, and was launched by Mrs J. Harris, wife of the club patron, after being dedicated by Bishop Sutton. The season opened in ideal weather, although the wind was a bit light for more daring yachtsmen.
