On the spectator craft flanking the triangular 24.3-mile course, good binoculars are necessary just to tell one boat from the other. Back in town, a lot of broiling people in madras shorts and Top-Siders will drink large quantities of beer, and toast being at the scene of an international occasion. Nobody is quite sure what is going on-something...
