Marie L. Cup Race Winner at Manchester Yacht Club
George Lee's Marie L. 22-footer won the Crowhurst cup open race over a 10 mile course with best actual and corrected times. Nutmeg placed second on time but third on allowances, Manchester finished third overall, Khalifa fourth and Arawak fifth as winds faded and judges ended the contest. The Marie L. earns a leg toward the permanent cup with another win later to claim it, while criticisms arose over ship-type eligibility for the cup.
