Pretty Race Yesterday

Pretty Race Yesterday
The race yesterday afternoon was a
pretty one Notwithstanding the apparent
hard feeling between the competitors
Porteous and Pinac were the shippers for
New Orleans and WitheriI and Walthers
for Pensacola Porteous has as his main
sheet man, Hayward, who claimed the
foul against the local skipper in the
Sunday afternoon event
Capt Dave Witherin had Will Palmer
and Lathrop Witheril as his crew, while
Capt. Walthers had Capt. Dan Shepard
and Brent Watson.
A good breeze OF about eight knots
was blowing and the event was hotIy
contested from start to finish, Walthers
working his sloop from late start to an
almost neck and neck finish with Por-
teous. Witherill out-sailed Pinac on the
last round and crossed the finish line
with two minute margin.
PorteOus was first across with WaIthers
close on his heels; Witherill was third,
just behind Walthers, and Pinac trailed
almost quarter of mile back. Thus
the ten points were evenly divided be-
tween the two competing clubs. 1t was
too late to sail another race, so that
ended the affair pending action OF the
board of appeals.
1t Is understood that Mobile has turned
the cup over to New Orleans until some
IGTIneF acLlOn IS taken.
"FIlm. .FIamed"
Every Pensacola yachtmen present ~
the regatta when questioned as to the
fairness of New Orleans claim for a
foul seemed reluctant to make an ex-
preston. It appears, however, that they
feel as though an attempt has been
made to film fam them out OF the
trophy.
But this will not in any way interfere
with future activities of the local club.
Preparations will be made Immediately
for the Kennedy cup races to decide the
championship of the club. This series
is looked forward to with almost as
much interest as the Upton regatta and
has always been marked by the true
spirit of craftsmanship.
The palatial floating club will be
formally opened soon with a genuine
house warming Approximately So new
members have been added to the Junior
membership recently. and indications are
that the Pensacola Yacht Club is more
active now than it has ever been be-
fore.
