Octavia overall winner

Octavia, from Santa Cruz, Calif., was the overall winner of the 2,070 mile San Francisco to Kaneohe West Marine Pacific Cup yacht race.

Octavia finished in 10 days, 12 hours, and 35 minutes, for overall honors among 80 yachts in the 11th biennial event.

First to arrive from San Francisco was Waikiki Yacht club entry Pegasus (8 days, 10 minutes and 36 seconds).

The handicap rating system, meant to equalize opportunities among all yachts, gave Pegasus fourth overall in the fleet.

While there are still more boats on the water, the race was called complete at noon yesterday.

Heat Wave, a 36-foot sloop, skippered by Rick Shema out of Kaneohe, finished third in Division C.
