Lady Bleu II first to reach Hawaii

Aloha A class entry Lady Bleu II became the first boat to finish the Transpacific Yacht yesterday, ending 13 days at sea.

The Lady Blue wieghs 30 tons, as much as Division I boats Pegasus and Pyewacket combined and took advantage of the five-day head start on the favorites.

Pegasus, piloted by Phillippe Kahn, set a mileage record yesterday and figures to win the race on adjusted time. The Reichel/Pugh 77 has gone 356 miles in the past 24 hours, building a 74-mile lead over Pyewacket only 288 miles out of Waikiki. The previous 24-hour record was 353 miles, set by Doug Baker's Andrews 70 Magnitude in 1999.

Pegusus expects to hit Waikiki at around 5 a.m. today.
