Over the years it has provided the sport of sailing with thousands of recreational sailors, as well as given the ,keen competitor a vehicle for the challenge racing„ The Laser is also in training programs in North America, and, being Canadian built is' naturally used in Junior programs in Canada. The Goderich-based Huron Sailing School uses them for some of their ad- vanced ,level sailing in- struction. The boat can be car -topped and easily managed by even young teenagers. There was ample evidence of this by the fact that over half of the competitors in the regatta were boys and girls in their teens. With the exception of the first race Saturday morning, all the races were held in ideal con- ditions, with moderate Northwest winds and crystal clear skies. The race course was. set by Mike Gozzard and his committee of Elizabeth Given, Greg Smith, and a large contingent of the Robarts familyt Local spectators, some Maitland ladies win prizes The only tournament we have to report on this week is a nine -hole ladies' tournament held in Seaforth on July 25th. Hazel Beaver, Chris Haffrt5eyer aric("—merry" Mountford attended from Goderich, and they all came home with prizes. This was Seaforth's first attempt at a ladies' tournament, and we hope they will be encouraged to have more in, the future, possibly 18 hole events. Ladies' night saw 28 ladies determinedly trying to perfect the "art of putting little pails into little holes with in- struments very ill - adapted to the purpose". Maxine Martin was 1st flight winner, with Marie Llai.`Iroppiflg fhe pulls. Second flight saw Verna Jackson and Lillian Kelly as winners with Ardith Brissette hot with the putter. We have had a junior join our ranks and we are glad to welcome Doreta Jackson to the winners circle in the third flight, followed by Marg Evans, and Bertha McGee winning putting prize. Noni Collier was sole winner in the fourth Hight. Fourteen couples turned out last Sunday for,, the mixed two -ball and winners were Ardith Brissette and Fred Looker, and_ Mar?g Evans and Mike Paquette. These evehts 'are quite popular and there are new faces -there each week, so give yourselves a treat and join in on August 12 when the next round will be held. There were 49 men out last men's night and some new names ap- peared on the winners list! Pete MacEwan beat out brother Don by half a point, then came Mike Murphy, Rick Rawson, Fred Looker, Gerry Morgan and Russ Gemmill. John Hanly won the draw. Watch the Bulletin Board, because there is 'at- least one private tournament corning up. There is nothing more maddening than to get a game. arranged and then get down to the club and find the tees are closed because of a tournament. You would avoid this frustration by just a quick look at the board to see what is scheduled for the weeks ahead. lumper leads Electrics to 2-0 win George Klumper tossed a one -hit shutout to lead Graham Electric to a 2-0 win over Green and Parent in Industrial League action, sunday.
