Lieutenant Commander William Sanders, the yachting trophy named in his memory and Heather, the Dunedin 14-footer to challenge for the cup. Begg and Co, the Sanders Memorial Challenge Cup, the winning of which carries with it the championship of Australasia in 14ft one-design sailing boats. The Sanders Memorial Challenge Cup is dedicated to the memory of New Zealand’s gallant hero — the late Lieutenant Commander W. E. Sanders VC DSO RNR. The first series of races for this valuable trophy will be held during the Easter week on the Waitemata Harbour. The world’s record is 330 eggs for 52 weeks, so that it is quite likely Mount Albert this year will beat the record.
