Larry liked it that the race had begun a half century before the first modern World Series and nearly two decades before college football was born on the East Coast. The first regatta was held as part of the International Exhibition, or “world’s fair,” in London, which opened on May Day 1851 and celebrated the latest in industry, arts, and science—from the precursor to the telegraph to the sewing machine. Among those in attendance at the fair in Hyde Park were Charles Dickens; Samuel Colt; Alfred, Lord Tennyson; and members of the royal family.
That means we’re tacking the boat. ” Erkelens agreed that it wasn’t the right thing to do for the race—it would put them off course for the finish—but it was the best thing to try to salvage the boat, and save lives. Tacking the boat shifted their course by sixty degrees. The waves didn’t get smaller but Sayonara began to take the hits directly on the bow rather than the side of the boat. The pounding was reduced and the ride was less violent. Heading closer to Flinders Island, at the northeastern tip of Tasmania, Larry took inventory: two men had broken bones, a fire had ignited in the navigation station when the electronics got wet and shorted, and his boat was bruised and beaten.
On race days in England, tens of thousands of people poured into the blocks around Fleet Street, waiting for newspapers to come out with the latest dispatches on the Cup. The excitement was hardly diminished by the inability of most to actually see the races or understand what transpired out on the course. The sight of the spectacular boats and the massive billowing sails was enough to draw cheers.
