“Talking Sailing” From My Archives. Club Notes From August 1966

By Richard Crockett
I never met Bianca Lavies who photographed prolifically for the Natal Mercury newspaper and wrote for SA Yachting magazine, her contributions filling many pages over the years. She was obviously a damn fine photographer as I believe that she was eventually recruited by National Geographic magazine as a photographer, and emigrated to the USA.
I always wonder what happened to her photo archives as they would be historically rich and welcome today?
There are seven pages of Club Notes today, lots of photos and the page of “people pics”, so enjoy reading about yesterdays sailing heroes today!
Today’s Headlines Are:
• Sails on the Highveld by Peter Brown
      Clube Naval Annual Regatta
