20 THf AGE SATURDAY 30 DECEMBER 1995 Sport Age Caught between a log and a slow pace PHONE 13 26 58 onds, second was Uncle Toby's, the defending champion, which had enjoyed a two second lead in the first two day's racing. Another OD Transport paddler, Anthony May, from Alph-ington, said it was vital that the break was established yesterday to prevent a last-day sprint showdown against Clint Robinson on New Year's Eve. As it was, Robinson, recognised as the best sprinter in the world, made up 38 seconds in his paddle on the last 20 kilometres of yesterday's stage. the rival Kl international relay teams. These teams, OD Transport United, Baker, Mitsubishi and Goulburn Murray Water denied that they had ganged up on the Uncle Toby's team, but 00 Transport United paddler Ashley Nesbitt said: "We wanted to hit their weak link and to hammer them as hard as we could.

"It was the grinding ability of the other paddlers that enabled all of us to pull away from the Uncle Toby paddler." Walker said he was tactically By JACQUELIN MAQNAY, Echuca National kayak paddler Jimmy Walker discovered the tactical nuances of marathon racing the hard way In yesterday's stage of the gruelling 404-kilometre Red Cross Murray River Marathon. Walker, 23, a sprint specialist from the hot-shot Uncle Toby's Team, which includes former world champion ironman Trevor Hendy and Olympic gold medallist Clint Robinson, was the victim of some superb and experienced team paddling by outmanoeuvred on the short, sharp eight-kilometre stage, when he was forced In between a log and a slower K2 team, which enabled the others to break open a crucial gap. "As soon as they knew I was briefly trapped, they couldn't have yelled 'go' loud enough," he said. "I tried, but I just couldn't catch them. It's a lot different, this marathon racing, to what I'm used to In the sprints." By the day's end OD Transport was leading by 2:35 sec With two days to go Echuca to Torrumbarry and Murrabit to Swan Hill the race is wide open.

Uncle Toby's paddler Hendy recalled that in last year's win the team made up more than six minutes on the last day to take line honors. "It's still possible to get back up; there's still a long way to go," he said. "They have made it hard for us, but they have also done a lot of work, so the issue of fatigue will play an important part as the race goes on."

West coast sailors usually expect a long blow of 30 knots or more to hasten them to seaward past the island's lee shore. This year, the yachts hugged, the shore for much of the journey in search of maximum breeze. Typical of the contest was a neck-and-neck run behind the leaders by sister yachts Haphazard and Wild Card, sailed by the Edmunds brothers, Nick and Richard, from northern Tasmania's Port Dalrymple Yacht Club. They were among a group of yachts that hunted through the lonely bays and capes of the west coast for much of Thursday in search of helpful puffs. By yesterday morning, the two were running so close together they could have thrown across the breakfast cereal box if they had so wanted.

There were no further withdrawals, and Williams said a handicap leader could not sensibly be calculated at this stage of the race. By ANDREW DARBY, Hobart A tight tactical contest by two leading yachts through changing winds was set to decide the Melbourne-Hobart race early today. Second Term yesterday held to a slim lead it had snatched in lighter airs, but strengthening winds were expected to favor its close rival, Tasmap. The two were running about one nautical mile apart off Port Davey, in the south-western corner of Tasmania, at 5 pm yesterday as the fleet waited for the change to swing in after negotiating an extraordinarily quiet race day down the island state's often-wild west coast. As long as conditions stayed light and on the nose, Second Term, a Jutson 52 skippered by Ian Twentyman of Brighton, was predicted to keep the lead.

But race official Kevin Williams said that if the strengthening winds came through, then the shorter Tasmap's deep keel and planing hull would bring the heavy-weather boat home faster last night. About 20 nautical miles behind the leading pair was perennial second pfacegetter, Robert Hopcroft's Animal Farm. Weather observations from nearby lighthouses indicated the westerly winds were strengthening, and the Bureau of Meteorology said a stiff change was expected to bring as much as 30-knot winds before easing during the night. But having negotiated the rugged far south of Tasmania overnight, the yachts still had to make their way through the notorious early-morning Der-went River calms.

But off Eden, Brindabella fell back when a mainsail halyard broke, and lost an hour. "With those guys, you can't give them an hour or so," Snow said. "You never get it back." Asked whether he would return, he was equivocal: "Oh, you know, we get our satisfaction. Seven minutes last year, two hours this year I don't know, maybe I am going backwards.

Maybe I should go and play golf." At one point yesterday morning as it was carried up river by the sea breeze, Brindabella did regain some distance, but never enough to threaten Sayonara. From PAGE 24 another try at the record might not be out of the question. "I think we might be that foolish." It was less clear at race's end whether Australia's top maxi, Brindabella, would come back. After breaking down in its maiden 1993 race and narrowly falling to the ketch Tasmania last year, Sydney businessman Third-placed Foxfel Amazon came home another two hours! behind Brindabella.

Nine Australians hit safely as the home team out-hit the visitors 13-2.
