Cheetah, the older Peterson 66 owned by Doug Baker and Dick Pennington of Long Beach, held a one-mile lead over Dick Compton’s Andrews 68 Alchemy from Santa Barbara after the first day of a slow yacht race from Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas. Cheetah, averaging only 5.4 knots in light wind, reported a position 102 miles out after 19 hours of the 802-nautical mile race. Hal Ward’s Cheval dropped out for a reason not explained, reducing the fleet to 18 boats.
