...only 14 sec. Then Gretel and Sturrock stole the day. His spinnaker ballooning firm and white, Sturrock caught a great, wind-driven wave under his stern and rode it like a surfboarder on a Pacific comber. As the Australians surged past, Mosbacher's Yanks heard a roaring war whoop booming out across the water. Weatherly tried to recover, but she snapped her spinnaker pole -and then it was too late. Gretel was home free, 47 sec. ahead in 2 hr. 46 min. 58 sec., the fastest 24-mile Cup race ever sailed by a 12-meter yacht...

Ten U.S. Marine Corps helicopters landed in the valley bearing another 200 soldiers. They were the pick of the Royal Army and. hopefully, could stop any new Communist advance and stabilize the battle lines for the expected ceasefire.
