Pegasus, Pyewacket gaining speed

With wind making an appearance at last, Division 1 competitors Pegasus and Pyewacket approached record one-day runs, according to yesterday's report from the 42nd Transpacific Yacht Race.

Pegasus sailed 349 miles and Pyewacket 347, both averaging 14.5 knots, in the 24-hour period before yesterday's roll call. Pegasus held a 60-mile lead with 636 to go in the 2,225-nautical mile race.

The race record is 353 miles in a day, set by Magnitude in 1999.

Beau Geste made a run in the Division 2 race , closing to within six miles of division leader Alta Vita.

But on a fast day, Alta Vita also edged to less than an hour behind Illusion in the corrected handicap time competition.
