BRITISH MOTOR BOATS SUCCESS
The British-built Dunelt outboard boat, the introduction of which was announced recently, gained its first racing successes a few days ago in the meeting at the Edgbaston Reservoir, organised by the Midland Outboard Racing Club.
There were eight competitors in classes A. and B. —250 and 350 c.c. engine capacity, respectively. The new Dunelt won class A in convincing style, and came in second in class B. All except one of the other competing boats were of foreign manufacture, and the success of the Dunelt is thus all the more satisfactory.
