During the preliminary rounds the lanky Bermudian got four buoys at 32 off in the open division and among the seniors, where the boat speed is dropped from 36 miles per hour to 34 miles per hour he achieved an incredible three buoys at 35 off, which allowed him to lay claim to a new Latin American record.

ROAD RUNNING RUN The Mid Atlantic Athletic Club, organisers of the Princess to Princess road race on Sunday, January 7 have announced a change for the finish of the prominent race.
The finish line had been switched to the Rib Room at Southampton Princess but it will now end at the usual finish line at The Whaler Inn.
Race Director Newton Adcock said that the original switch was made because contractors had heavy equipment placed at Whaler Inn, but they have now been told to have it removed to accommodate the runners on that date.
Application forms can be obtained at the Sportseller, New Winners Edge and the Pro Shop and must be returned by 5p.m. on Friday. MAAC members are required to pay $8 and all other participants $10. There will be a late entry fee of $15.
The event, which is also race three of the KPMG Peat Marwick National road running series and sanctioned by the Bermuda Track and Field Association, will start at Hamilton Princess at 9.30 a.m. and take the runners east to East Broadway and on to Harbour Road where they will turn right on to Middle Road and then up to the Southampton Princess driveway and down the hill and under the tunnel towards the finish line at Whaler Inn.
