a good ffty-foot lead to the Glencairns credit
Both boats sailing rapidly but the Glencairn
pointing much better. 1he wind forced the
Mono right her beam. and at times the
bottom clear 10 the ccntreboard. The yachts
were pounding hard and showers of spray few over
their bows. BY the time the Glencairn had COW

made quick time to the second buoy. the Glenca!rn
