Big Yachts Might Catch Race’s Leaders
Dying winds at the front of the fleet Tuesday gave the big ULDB 70 sleds, which started a day later, an outside chance to overtake the leaders before the finish of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s race to Cabo San Lucas.
Robert Lane’s Andrews 56, Medicine Man, was 268.3 miles from Cabo at the 8 a.m. Joseph Jaconi’s Kathmandu and John Delaura’s Silver Bullet turned about 240 miles each in the previous 24 hours.
On corrected time, Jerry Montgomery’s J/N 40, Patriot, from Alamitos Bay YC continued to lead the International Offshore Rule boats.
