Mystery surrounds yacht

LIVERPOOL, Ns. (cP) —
Her days in Liverpool are
likely numbered but the
mysteries ‘swirling around
the yacht Aires I will remain
long after she sails away.

Why has no one claimed
ownership of the abandoned
24-metre ketch, with chrome-
plated fittings from stem to
stern and an expensive teak
hull ‘in between?

Some yacht fanciers in this
southwestern Nova Scotia
port reckon her value at
$500,000, but still no one
comes forward to claim her.

That's just one of the mys- .
|, teries.

The Aires, registered in

. Cyprus, arrived here, from
, the Caribbean in September

for repairs to a generator.
The six crewmembers
later said they had assumed
that arrangements had been
made with a Liverpool firm

Castlegar and area resi-
dents donated more than
$3,000 to the 1982 Christmas
Seal Campaign.

In a prepared statement,
Gary. Cooper, president of
the B.C. Lung Association,
said the campaign ended offi-
cially Jan. 31 with Castlegar

* contributing $3,782 to the

province total of $801,126.
Cooper said that while the

but they soon found that this
was not.the case — and that
was just the first of their
problems,

The crewmembers said the
owners had been identified to

them as the Liberty Yacht

Co. of Nicosia :when ‘they
signed on the ‘Aires I, and
when they learned that no
one had arranged for. the re-

pairs. they began to. grow ’

nervous about a back

Air fares es Britain

drop as of March 2.

MONTREAL (CP) — Stiff
competition from charter car-
riers has prompted Air Can-
ada and British Airways to

reduce. “their © charter-class_

rates to Britain this spring,
with Toronto getting the beat
break.

Wardair and British Air’

Tours are waging a price
battle in the charter market.
: Much of ‘their traffic to Brit-
ain originates from Toronto,
.and that’s where the fare war.
is most intense.

For round trips starting
irom March 2 through April
30, Air Canada ‘and British
-Airways plan to drop their
Toronto-London | charter-

class fare to $499 from $558
to match the charter compan ;

ies’ fares,

* Charter class is a discount
economy fare’ available from
scheduled airlines for people
willing to comply with strict
advance booking require-
ments similar to those for
charter flights. |

Montreal and Ottawa rates
remain at $558 for the same
period, but will then rise at
the same time as the Toronto
rates to $579. for travel
started in May.

Without the new discount,
the charter-class rate that
month would have been $698

for all three cities, said John

Gradek, Air Canada manager
for passenger pricing. ~

Edmonton, Vancouver and
Calgary also. benefit. For
round trips started in April
on Air Canada or British Air-
ways, the charter-class rate
will be $594 from the two
Alberta cities and $619 from
Vancouver,

RISE IN MAY

The rates then rise in two -

stages in May toa seasonable
peak of $799 for Vancouver.
and $749 for Calgary and Ea-

‘monton,

The previously announced
charter-class rate from Cal-
gary for April was $688, said
Gradek. The regular econ-

omy. fare would be $962 one
way from Calgary to London
and $837 from Toronto.

‘There are advance booking
and minimum stay require-
ments in all cases, The air-
lines also caution that only a
portion of their economy
seating is included in the
Program, so that bookings
may be difficult to get on
some flights.

Gradek said the new dis-
count fares match the rates
of the two charter operators
across the board.

British Air Tours is a new
player in the Canada-London
charter market, and Wardair
responded to.its arrival by
matching its rates,

“Given that both Wardair

and British Air Tours are
going with that price level,
we couldn't sit on the fence

‘and let them take away a

piece of our market,” added
Gradek.

The discounts are subject
to government approval.
