Defender’s bal- loon jib topsail seemed to be on the ‘point of collapsing several times as she neared the finish, but a puff of wind would fill it up again. Vigilant's bal Joon jib was somewhat shaky, too, at times. Valkyrie hauled her wind at 1.42 and “stood up towards the course to get Mearer to the racers. No Signals for Second Round.
