Now
it's a Numbers Game
HONOLULU - The Barn Door is settled.
Now comes the scramble for handicap honors. With Philippe
Kahn's Pegasus tucked safely in its slip at Ala Wai Yacht
Harbor with honors secured for fastest elapsed time in the
41st Transpacific Yacht Race, several smaller boats were due
to finish before the Hawaiian sun sets Tuesday. This is when
a calculator becomes more important than a GPS.

having the time of his life on the smallest boat in the 41st

Japanese
Boat SHowing the (New) Way
For
Bengal II, the 41st Transpacific Yacht Race is just a way of
island-hopping home. The Japanese entry sailed all the way across
the Pacific to start the race and now is leading the way back
along a risky route that has brought it nearer Hawaii than any
of the other 24 boats in the four racing divisions

Shanakee
II First in Luxury - and Looking to Finish First
Thanks
to a six-day headstart, a new 75-foot sloop with all the comforts
of many homes apparently will be the first boat to finish the
41st Transpacific Yacht Race to Hawaii. Housing developer Jim
Warmington's Shanakee II, a David Pedrick design, started June
25 with the Aloha Division and flew past the two-thirds mark
Tuesday after reporting a position only 809 nautical miles from
Honolulu.

Rub-a-Dub-Dub,
Three Boats in a Tub
When the sun broke over the western
Pacific Monday morning the crews of Pegasus, Chance and Pyewacket
looked out on tranquil seas and saw . . . Pegasus, Chance
and Pyewacket. The three super sleds were within three miles
of one another virtually drifting in winds too light for stretching
their legs or even dreaming of setting a record in the 41st
Transpacific Yacht Race.
