here was hardly any change in their
POSITIONS when both tackled TO port at
s24:3O. This placed the Cochran yacht
a the windward berth, and there she
saved, and slowly but surely worked
out clear Of her rival.
With the breeze freshenlng until
rails were awash at times, the yachts,
carefully steered by their respective
slippers and with the crews lying sun
IS mice snug up under the weather
nils. held this port tack toward the
Jersey beach for 81 minutes 80 seconds.

and SET a reacher in just one minute
