In the highly competitive Star
class. Dave Dunigan of Washing
ton and Gibson Island, Md, were
tied on points with August Stoeff-
Ter of Annapolis. Each won race
and each took a second.
For the first race, the commit
tee aboard the Coast Guard patrol
boat No. 63,301, was forced tt
order a Commute postponement
to allow the fleet to arrive from
their berths on Washington Chan
mel and the Sailing Marina. When
they finally got away, only the
barest zephyr was stirring from
the south. The. fleet drifted to
the first mark with a favoring cur
rent.
DUNCAN Wins Opener. ...
Meanwhile. frontrunners Duni-
gan and Stoeffler. creeping along
the Virginia shore. got a draft OF
Inortherly wind from the direction
of the Pentagon. Dunigan at the
tiller of his Jade passed Stoeff-
ler's Hell's Angel on the third leg
and remained in front for the
downwind leg to the finish.
Soon the other boats began to
get a little lift and, the committee
heaved a sigh of relief. Even so
they decided to shorten the course
for the larger classes to one lap
The light northerly held on
through lunch and the afternoon
race. This time the fleet was sent
away to windward mark off the
railroad bridge. reversing their
morning course. The breeze died
again late in the day but by then
nearly everybody was across the
finish.
Light Airs Due Today.
Forecast for today reads like
carbon copy of yesterday-light
and variable winds. probably
south and southwest.
AS a measure of the light going
in the morning, it took the win
ming Star 1:48:05 to go one lap.
The time for the same boats in
the afternoon was 1:15:07-for
two laps.
Following Friday nights water
pageant and coronation, out
boards and inboards take over the
point. Racing begins each day at
noon. The feature race for the
gold Presidents Cup will see at
least five fast Gold Cup boat
competing. One heat is planned
Saturday. two Sunday.
Tickets for the Friday night,
Saturday and Sunday events are
on sale at regatta headquarters
in the Willard Hotel, American
Automobile Association, Fairway
Sport Store and most marine
supply firms along the water
front.
