Yacht Race Leads Off Catalina Channel Start Amid Spectator Crowds
An extensive start sequence for a long yacht race off Catalina Island featured boats like the 66-foot Sein Sang skippered by Louis Stratham LAYC and the 63-foot Dirent captained by Tim Mosely SFYC racing toward the west exit of Catalina. The 40-foot schooner Sea Song II began at 12 40 p m as thousands lined the San Pedro shore and harbor. The Nam Sang protested Orient over a claimed illegal main halyard, with a race decision forthcoming post race. The catamaran Aikane, not in the race, demonstrated potential speed while the Criterion 61-foot yawl with Ira Fulmer at the helm was placed sixth on corrected time. Meanwhile a trust sale notice dominated public records in Los Angeles, detailing a July 25 foreclosure by Title Insurance and Trust Company on a property in Los Angeles County.
