Buy a faster boat. Saph, a Marine City lawyer, was one of 301 skippers who labored through the 259-nautical mile course last year because of light winds. Lack of wind made last year the third slowest race in 65 years. The overall winner last year, Chicago's Dick Jennings aboard Pied Piper, reached the island with a corrected time of 53 hours, 57 seconds.

Only two previous winners had slower times. Saph isn't fooling around this year. He sold his old boat, Rowdy, and bought a class winner from last year's race a one-year-old Thomas 35-foot sloop called Goblin last year, but renamed Rowdy by Saph. This year's 66th Port-Huron-to Mackinac Island sailboat race is scheduled July 2 1 starting in lower Lake Huron just north of the Blue Water Bridge and continuing north to Mackinac Island. The race coincides with the Chi-cago-to-Mackinac Race.

This year, the Port Huron race is first, and the Chicago-to-Mackinac race follows the next Saturday. Sassy, Pied Piper, William Mar- Kanga-Back Carpet Over 5,000 sq. yds. in stock!

But all that honor guarantees is getting the first beer at the Mackinac Island bar Pink Pony, an annual tradition of race sailors. The overall winner is determined on a handicap system called corrected time, where the bigger boats give away time to the smaller boats. Last year, Pied Piper earned a double first to the island and overall winner.

"Basically, sailing is a lot like golf," Saph said. "Everybody has a handicap." rooooooooooooooooooooooooo Is Your Water Pressure Too Low? A NEW VELL May Be The Answer.
