Third Trial a Fluke in Light Wind Yacht Race
A Wednesday attempt to sail the second in the series of international yacht races off Sandy Hook proved a dismal failure. Light winds kept Shamrock I from pressing the challenger and, after four hours, both yachts covered less than half the 30 mile course. The regatta was declared off, with Shamrock I slightly ahead as luck favored the foreigner amid drifting conditions and variable winds.
