out when the time limit ran out
with single craft finishing.

classes, however, managed to finish
within time limits on three inside
courses.
With a first and a second to his
credit, Fred Skip" Kuehnle Of
Annapolis scored winning points in
his Juno in the star class. Second
place was won by Flapper, sailed by

mouth Of the Severn.
The cruising and racing yachts
that included five boats Of the Naval
Academy were given six hours to
cover the, 18-mile course down to
West River, over to the Eastern
Shore and back here. But when
the time ran out, the leading boats
still were fighting light airs on the
the Eastern Shore, an hour from
the finish line.
