The last challenge to our racing supremacy came in 1958, when our T?Columbia trounced the British Sceptre. '. Australians know that the U.S. hasn't been resting on past laurels. AH" summer the best Yank sailors and sailing Newport, R.I. There an Australian crew will try to do something that hasn't been done in 111 years beat AmericanacMsmen in the World Series of sailing. Several months ago, I flewT"down under" to see how serious the Australians "were about winning the famed America's Cup. I clung to the mast of the Vim, pace setter for Australia's challenger, Gretel, arid studied the impressive sloop as it sliced gracefully through the , vhoppy waters off Sydney. lined the shore, and Aussies Half a million cheering behind me a crewman was saying in cockney tones: "She'll trim you Yanks in September. Trim you good' And watching the sleek Gretel I thought she had a fine; chance of doing just that. Of course, wf won't really know the winner until the end of the best-o- f seven races, which " begin Sept. 15. But if the Gretel doesn't beat the U.S. entry, it won't be because the Australians haven't tried. . The Gretel is a truly national entry. Australian industrialists underwrote her, Australian miners contributed the lead for her 23 tons, and Australian shipbuilders con- ' structed her at cost $700,000. Almost every Australian youth who had handled sail hoped to make her crack crew. But sentiment, money, and skill don't guarantee winning the America's Cup. The "ould mug" was put up for competition in 1850. by the Royal Yacht Squadron of Great sailing. The Britain as a symbol of the best in world-wid- e first race was held the next year and the single U.S. entry beat a pack of British boats. In 16 subsequent competitions, British and Canadian interests spent $20 million trying to get the cup back, but the Victorian silver monstrosity still rests in a glass case 12-met- craf Hiavebeen undeigoingtrials,- - and our defender next crew. week will be sloop with a fine-hoWhile In "Australia, I talked with GreteVs designer Alan Payne--, who told me: "We have the best crew in the world. There remains the question, a rather large question, of whether I designed a boat worthy of their talents." The British already are getting set to challenge this year's winner and the Russians hope to get their first crack at the Cup in 1964. The race is held whenever a challenger is ready, rather'than at specific intervals. . president of the Soviet Yachting Federation, says: uWeareTktng and hope to have a fabric suitable" for sails in two years.". Yachtsmen wonder, though, whether the Soviets are interested in sjsort or propaganda. Right now, it's strictly sportsmanship between those old friends, Aussie and Yank. Who's going to win? After watching both sides in trial performances, I would say much depends on the wind. sailThe Australians are accustomed to e winds howl ing, taking rough combers while near-galthrough the rigging. If we have a nor'easter off Newport next week, the Australians will have a definite advantage. But if Indian summer lays down a bluebird calm which is often the case this time of year the Aussies very well may fall behind our sloop. So years of working and planning on both sides of the equator will go the way Lady. Luck and the storm gods will. These are the unpredictable elements that make sailing races so very exciting.
