14.-The st. Petersburg Havana
yacht race fleet was strung out
today between the Florida Straits
and the Cuban capital on the
final stretch of the 284-mile race
in which seamanship has been
put to rigid test.
The lead boats began enter
ing the straits about midnight
and then spreading out to the
open waters before Havana. The
straits roughly are 200 miles from
the starting point here.
Leading the 26-boat fleet into
the straits was the scratch boat,
F. S. Guggenheimer's Mogu out
of Boston. Not too far behind
were Gil Verney's Sea Lion of
Nantucket, Mass. and the Tioga,
owned by Bradley Noyes of Mar
blehead, Mass.
The remainder of the feet
was closely punched behind the
three leaders.
1t took the pacemakers SO
hours to make those 200 miles
and the first finishers are ex-
pected in Havana early this
afternoon.
Light headwinds tested the
sailing mettle of the yachtsmen
from the start. All the craft had
to tack back and forth across
Tampa Bay on the first leg and
continue tacking in the Gulf of
Mexico along the Florida coast.

British Jaguar o. was declared
provisional winner of the 12-hour
Florida International Grand

records of timers of the sport

huddle as great confusion de-
veloped just as the race ended.
Officials worked all night on
the records. and said this morn
ing placings of the first 10 cars
n the unofficial list now were
provisional pending allowance of
any protest.
There already has been at
least one protest made for Allen
Guiberson of Dallas. whose Fer
rari was placed second in the
provisional standings. The pro-
test for him was filed last night
by a Ferrari representative.
May Take Until Thursday
Results will be passed on to
the international federation in
Paris. and it may take until
Thursday to get the matter
ironed out.
A few minutes before the 10
pm. ending last night, the loud
/ speaker in front of the official
scorers private hideout hao

Ferrari had taken the lead from
