ANZAC mentioned in article – The North Shore and Ponsonby Clubs had ideal weather for their launch race to Awaroa, Waiheke. In the Ponsonby Club the Snowflake, a new boat, wins, while in the North Shore Club the Ailsa wins. It was one of the hottest days in the year, and the Snowflake ran well. Gertie II. was second in both clubs. A large number of yachts and launches were in Awaroa Bay for Saturday night and a first-rate concert and dance was held in Gordon’s Hall, and a thorough good time enjoyed. On Sunday the attraction for picnic parties was at Home Bay, where the camp is being held. The Territorials camp makes one to be a Territorial to be camping on Motutapu and run the rick of being forced to go in for a swim once at least these burning hot days. The following launches turned up: Sterling Girl, Gretchen, Buffalo Bill, Princess Pat, Roma, Hinemoa, Waioliine, Ngaroraa, Drayton, Sister Dora, Lizard, Maroro, Seabird, Secret, Anzac and Adelaide. |

A hole was knocked in her side in a collision with another boat, and this circumstance prevented her from taking part in the racing. The Roma towed the Anzac to her moorings, a kindly act which caused the former boat to lose some of her afternoons racing. |

The Power Boat Association on Saturday afternoon ran off several challenge’ pennant races. For the 10.5 knot pennant. Anzac and Adelaide were claimants, but both failed to do the course in the proper time, and so the flag stops in the clubroom. This was told with many chuckles. “I’d been troubled with water in the carburettor. Gradually got rid of it. My opponent borrowed a tin of benzene off me, and he I saw was in trouble. Never dawned on me till late in the race that we were sharing our troubles, and that his engine had now the same complaint.” |

Power Boat Notes |
ANZAC |
NZPBA – harbour races held on Saturday afternoon – The Surf put up a very line performance, and was recorded the winner from the Wee Meg by 1m 35s, which was ahead of the Anzac by 37s. The handicapper then rearranged the times for the Whitney Cup, in which race the launches were captained by members of the fair sex, who were anxious to show their skill and ability in handling their respective boats. Another unusually close finish resulted, five of the boats arriving at the finishing line within twenty seconds of one another, and the other three a few seconds later. The result was that the winner, Anzac steered by Miss Elsie Ross. The Anzac, Commodore A. Burt, Jun., has now won this valuable cup outright, having established two successive wins. The Anzac upheld her claim for the 10.5 knot pennant. The previous winners of the Whitney Cup are:—;(started in 1905-06) – 1916-17, A. Burt, Junr., Anzac. steered by Mrs Earle; 1917-18. A.
