Citius Tops Sorcery in Del Rey Yacht Race

Ninety yachts turned out Saturday for Del Rey Yacht Club’s 25-mile Malibu & Return race, the first of the 1987 Berger Series.

For many of the yachts it was a warm-up for Del Rey club’s 1,125-mile Puerto Vallarta race which gets under way Feb. 7.

First to finish in the Malibu race was the Santa Cruz-70 Citius, under charter to a Del Rey club syndicate, in a bow-to-bow-battle with Jake Wood’s 82-foot Sorcery, both of which will be seeking line honors in the Puerto Vallarta race.
