...mini, has taken a resolutely contemporary approach. "I don't do things that are retrospective or cinematic or musical or costume," says Cardin. "I like things modern." Despite his protestations, however, Cardin's collection includes a four-alarm micromini, a thigh-high black stretch number worn with elbow-length gloves that are longer than the hemline of the dress.

A ragtag armada, 800 remarkable vessels ranging from the Achille Lauro to the Love Boat, tails along in a boiling wash. "They were a factor," insisted Conner, who called for more elbow room. In the second race the wind came up, and while tight quarters prompted a momentary Kookabura protest, Stars & Stripes ran away again and plainly seemed capable of doing it in any conditions...
