not in the company of the others when !
they finished.
The run of the boats was very slow |
being many minutes over the time Of
the first race held on the same course
in October Of last year. The weather
was ideal for the Columbia, Pirate and
Shamrock but bad for the others Of
the class which are strong wind sail
ers. The elapsed time OF the boats in
the race was as follows:
Start, Finish,
AM. PM. Time.
/. Columbia 1920 1:2l:43 Oh. 1m.433
Q Pirate ...11:2O 1880 2h.19m3Os
3. Malihini .11:2O 1:4O:24 2h.2Om. 24s
4. Kahuna .1l:2O 1:46:43 2h.26m i3s
As neither the Princess or Vi-Ke cross
ed the finish line their time was not
taken.
In last years race over the sams
course the time of the Myrtle. winner
OF the third class race was III. 23m. los.
while the time of the Vi-Ke. which was
last at that time was over half hour
faster than the time of the winning
boat in yesterdays race. The Pirate.
which got second yesterday. finished In
third place in the first regatta, her
time being III. 2Sm. los. while the IA.
huna shamrock Ill. last year made
the distance in III. SOm. 3Os. nearly an
hour better than yesterday.
At the conclusion of the race a joke
was perpetrated upon the captain OF
the winning boat by the officials OF the
day. Captain Walker was called before
the judges and asked il he had read
the rules. He replied he had. He was
then brought to task about not having
a club flag flying at his masthead aud
told that for the lack Of the pennaut
his boat had been disqualified This
cut the victorious skipper all up and
so II was decided that on his account
he would be excused this once but
never must he let 1t happen again
Walker was pleased at having got of 50
easy, and as soon as he had a chance.
read his rules again and saw that he
had been made the victim of jokers
On the run up to the city the boats
started out by classes and most OF
them were punched off Kalihi yester-
day afternoon making a pretty picture
as they sailed homeward.
At the start the order was given that
the boats would take the shortest
route home. The wind, which had been
very light in the lochs freshened lit.

the others on her way to the entrance
TO the channel. II was evidently her
shippers intention to go around the
bell buoy and still beat the othera
home. This might have been accom-.

calm and the others closed up on her.
The Malihini getting a favorable slant,

mid-channel buoy cut in over the rect

was second at the lighthouse. The Pi.
rate was third. the Princess fourth.
Canary fifth. Gladys sixth and Vl-Ke
seventh. The run up took about tvs
hours and half.
Besides the boats mentioned above.
the Mary L., Abbie NJ, and Kaumann
participated in the run which was vot.
ed by all as great success. By the
time Of the next regatta and cruise the
boat house temporarily to be erected
for the accommodation OF the members
Of the Hawaii Yacht Club and their
friends at Puuloa will be ready and then
there will be no necessity for those who
have small boats to sleep in their
cramped quarters aboard.
