...Down Their Throats." They should have remembered that long green is the color for Leafs. In the semifinals against the Black Hawks, the old pros put together a fierce, brutally checking defense that smothered the scoring rushes of Chicago's super stars Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull. Filling in for Johnny Bower with the series tied at two games apiece, Terry Sawchuk loomed like a bull walrus in the nets. At one point, Chicago's Hull rifled a 15-ft. slap shot with such force that Sawchuk toppled to the ice. Out rushed the Toronto trainer...
...have to say she's kind of radical," confided Emil ("Bus") Mosbacher, as he watched the slim, white hull slide down the ways of City Island, N.Y. Along with 500 well-wishers, Mosbacher was on hand last week for the launching of Intrepid, the 12-meter yacht he will skipper against Australia in the America's Cup this fall. It took only half an eye to see that she was a far cry from the old Weatherly Bus sailed to victory against the Aussies' Gretel in 1962-or for that matter, from any other 12-meter ever...
Well-Insured Hull. Recovering the value of the Torrey Canyon and the 118,000 tons of crude oil it carried is only the beginning of the problem. British Petroleum, for whom the chartered ship was hauling crude from Kuwait to England, had insured its cargo for $1,600,000. The ship itself, owned by a company called Barracuda Tanker Corp., which was incorporated in Liberia but is controlled from Wall Street, carried "hull" insurance of $16.5 million. As is traditional in marine insurance, the policy (with an annual premium of $330,000) had been spread among 120 syndicates...
What makes the case of the Torrey Canyon really complex is the threatened damage suits. Like most vessels afloat today, the tanker carried more than hull insurance; it also had P & I (for Protection and Indemnity), which is insurance against damage to persons, piers or other objects while the ship is in operation. The primary P & I insurer was the Marine Office of America in New York City, a consortium that carried $2,500,000 on the vessel. Union also had an undisclosed amount of P & I with other companies, enough presumably to match at least...
...when a brand new Aussie challenger, Dame Pattie, convincingly trounced Gretel in a series of shakedown races off Sydney. Nothing would do then except to rebuild Gretel yet another time. Back she went to the yard, where, at a cost of $44,800, shipwrights stripped off all her double hull planking, altered every frame, shortened her keel and covered her again with single splined planks...
