Racing Yachts On Pacific Look-See

Several yachts which took part in the Whangarei-Noumea yacht race in April called at the New Hebrides and Fiji on their way home in May.

Hamutana arrived in Vila on May 18, Tiare Moana and Naomi arrived there next day, and Edward Bear turned up on May 21.

Those seen in Fiji waters included Atea, Takohe, White Water and Yonder. The owners of all these yachts complained on their arrival at Suva that they had been unable to raise Suva Radio, which maintains a 24-hour listening watch.

Tama, which won the yacht race on handicap, spent several days at Lord Howe Island on the way home.
