Southern Straits
off to slow start

THE SOUTHERN Straits Sailing
Classic left Dundurave Pier
begrudgingly on Good Friday.

Scheduled to leave at 10:30
a.m., zero winds delayed the start
until noon and the longest of the
three courses, the 129-mile race,
was the slowest in the 22 years the
race has been going.

Most yachts took more than
seven hcurs to sail the first 25-mile
leg up to the Halibut Bank mark.

A tight to moderate westerly
gave this year’s competitors a
spinnaker run down the Strait to
Alden Bank off Bellingham. The
next leg had them tacking back up
against the moderate westerly to
round Halibut Bank again before
turning south to the finish. On
Saturday night winds were light
and even flat calm off Bowen
Island. Then a squamish coming
down Howe Sound gave gusty

winds until the last few miles to the
Point Atkinson finish where the
first yachts finished 9 p.m. Satur-
day with yachts still coming in
Sunday morning.

Skippered by Bill Lenihan, Pad-
dy Wagon was first in the 38-yacht
PHRF division to finish the long
course as well as the first in cor-
rected time.

In the IOR division, Bull
Buchan’s Sachem won the race
while Lucille with Kevin Stamper’s
crew was the first IOR yacht to
cross the finish.

Skipper Sandy Huntingford’s
Kydaka placed the highest for the
race host West Vancouver Yacht
Club coming in fourth in the IOR
division.

In the shorter 77-mile course,
Merry ’Ell skippered by Trevor
Hayward was the first to finish.

Hoilyburn awaits Richmond

THE NORTH Shore Winter Club
and the West Vancouver Tennis
Club were both defeated in the
first round of the B.C. Club Team
Tennis championships, but third
seeded Hoilyburn Country Club is
waiting in the wings to meet the
Richmond Country Club.

The Vancouver Lawn Tennis
and Badminton Club embarrassed
West Van 7-1 while NSWC lost 6-2
in a series with Vancouver’s Ar-
butus Club.

Richmond, which edged the
Burnaby Tennis Club in a dramatic
second tie-breaker match, is
scheduled to meet Hollyburn in the
second round.

Hollyburn received a first round
bye and must beat Richmond and
the winner of the Blue Mountain
Racquet. Club (Coquitlam) and the
Hazelrnere Golf and Tennis Club
(Surrey) series to secure a berth in
the provincial finals, May 12 and
13 at NSWC.
