SSI By LOU d'ALPUGET, "Tha Sinn's" vnrhtino writer Dame Pattie wa3 dismasted within 250 yards of the finishing line in her third America's Cup i a 1 against Gretel yesterday. It was a sensational finish to a dramatic race which Dame Pattie had Won easily.

She had outsailed Gretel in a fresh north easter and was leading almost four minutes when her 90-foot spar crashed over the side. None of her 11-man crew was Injured when the half-ton mast with its mass of steel rod rigging came down. It carried with it Dame Pattie's 1,300 square feet mainsail and 600 square feet Genoa jib. Superior The massive aluminium alloy spar, worth with the rigging, $18,000, broke 20 feet above the deck.

A helicopter will follow him wherever he goes and will direct police reinforcements to potential trouble spots. Although the routes Marshal Ky will take to and from the various functions arranged for him in Sydney are being kept secret it is known that security men will pay particular attention to the Kirribilli area.

It has been reported that the Federal Opposition Leader, Mr. Calwell, will lead a march of demonstrators against Marshal 1 Ky from the Harbour Bridge to Kirribilli House. Security screen Tour organisers believe extremists could use this to start violent demonstrations. However, they point out that Commonwealth Security's Sydney headquarters are almost next door to Kirribilli House. Security men know the area "like the back of their hands," and would only have to block four streets to seal it off completely.

In addition to the huge Commonwealth and State security screen, Marshal Ky will have his own personal bodyguard of crack South Vietnamese troops never more than an arm's length The new man at Gretel' wheel Trygve.

Jock Sturrock, Dame Pattie's skipper, out-generalled Halvorsen at the start and manoeuvred him into an awkward position as the yachts crossed the line. He precisely judged his yacht's pace and swooped under the lee of Gretel as they crossed the- starting line, forcing Halvorsen in the wind ward boat to luff up and forcing him to keep his boat clear as he was required to do under the rules.

A spokesman for the Dame Pattie syndicate said last night that a second mast was ready and would be installed next week. Today's race would not take place, but Dame Pattie was expected to be ready for further race trials next weekend.
