Extra Passengers Used

Wind HustIes Craft

GALESVILLE, Md, Aug. 81
Pushed by a south wind SO strong
it forced them to take on extra
passengers for ballast, 81 shippers
treated spectators at the West River
Sailing Clubs 18th annual regatta
to a round of thrilling finishes today.
Defying the tradition that sailing
races are slow-paced events, today's
competitors made a fight of virtually
every race, with the victor in many
undecided until the last few minutes.
The Sea Witch, 20-foot chine
bottom craft, owned by Vincent
Kramer, Annapolis, won the race in
that division, defeating Prentice
Eldrington's Lady Avon from Wash
ington by 20 seconds.
Jack Wilson's Dolphin from An
napolis won the race for 20-foot
round-bottom boats by finishing /
minute seconds ahead of Jack
zimmer's Babs from the West River
Club.
Ju Jam, sailed by Jack Martin of
Annapolis, scored a 27-second vic
tory over Harry Wilson's Seabiscuit
from Baltimore in the Hampton one
design event.
A heavy rain and squall early in
the afternoon delayed the racing,
but shippers took to the course
when the wind Stacked off. The ra-
gatta will end tomorrow.
