In Yacht Race

DR.. Luis vidana of Havana.
Cuba, rounded Great Stirrup to-
day and went into the home
stretch Of the l84-mile Miami
Nassau yacht race with a To-
mile lead over a field Of 80 other
racing craft.
Battling for second place were
Mogu. Fred Guggenheimer's 81
foot cutter out Of st. Petersburg,
and Mare Nostrum. 71-foot yawl
sailed by George Mellen of st.
Petersburg.
Ahead of the leading Criollo
was a 55-mile dash to the finish
line at Nassau harbor. The
yacht rounded Great Stirrup
Cay at 1915 am.
The rest of the field was
punched behind Mogu and Mare
Nostrum between Great Stirrup
Cay and Great Isaac's Light.
The fact that the big boats
are leading does not necessarily
mean they will win. Since the
race is a handicap event. they
have to yield time to the smaller
craft.
The Mogu, a scratch boat,
yields about II minutes to the
Mare Nostrum and / hour 8 min
utes to the Criollo, defending
champion.
Smaller boats like Jack Prices
40-foot cutter Comanche of
Miami and Carleton Mitchell's
39-foot yawl Finisterre are
strong contenders since their
handicap will be subtracted from
their actual sailing time. The
Comanche handicap is 6 hours
38 minutes and that of the
Finisterre z hours 90 minutes.
