§ 35. Dr. Reginald Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Defence what provision he is making for the entry of Royal Navy crews in the multi-hull yacht race in the Atlantic Ocean in 1975.
§ Mr. JuddOur aim is to encourage offshore sailing as a valuable form of adventurous training and as a recreational activity. However, in the case of the forthcoming Atlantic multi-hull yacht race, it was decided after careful consideration of the costs and other factors that an official Royal Navy entry would not be possible.
