...setback last week when the $10 million, gold-and chrome-plated Ranger V moon probe ran out of electric power before it neared the moon. The launch was perfect, but the spacecraft's solar-powered electric system did not deliver the necessary juice. After 8 hr. 44 min. of flight, Ranger V went dead.

Obviously the faster boat in heavy seas and high winds, Pride's winning margins were conclusive: 4 min. 14 sec., 5 min., and 1 min. Often called the "Little America's Cup," the Seawanhaka Cup competition is similar to the America's Cup in all but one respect: the U.S. has no monopoly on it. Pride's victory was the 14th...
