While Charley is an odds-on favorite to be first to reach the finish line at Lahaina, Maui, the overall handicap prize could go to any one of the smaller, slower boats.

They could finish as late as three days behind Charley and still win because of the time allowance handicap on Charley. In Swiftsure, Charley was far enough ahead for the rest of the fleet to win overall as well as first to finish honors. own Night Runner. He sailed the ultra light flyer Merlin which be chartered to set the record. With good winds, and some luck, the larger boats should reach Maui in 12 days.

Sailors from Canadian and American clubs ill compete in the North American Dragon class championships starting Sunday at Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Thirty of the clean-lined 29-footers will take part.

Favored skipper will be Bob Burgess of the host club. He won the world championship on English Bay in 1983. Racing starts Sunday and continues until July 6. Marathon sailors, in 26 boats ranging from 36 to 67 feet, will be taking part in the 10th biennial Victoria-to-Maui, Hawaii race. The 2,300 nautical mile ocean classic starts Saturday morning at 10 off Brotchie Ledge, the same starting point used for the Swiftsure Lightship Classic.

This year, for the first time, the Victoria-Maui race will have an all-women crew. They have chartered the Santa Cruz 50, Emily Carr, (formerly Sydeilsuma), and have been training and sailing the light, fast craft in all local races for the past season. Skipper is Gillian West, an offshore veteran and long time sailing instructor. Emily Carr's crew won't feature the only women in the race. Sue Lie-bert, a capable racing skipper, has entered the Liebert family 43, Sanfire in which she and husband Tony have raced for years.

She has her regular crew of talented sailors. Favored for first to finish will be the 67-foot ultra light displacement boat, Charley, first to finish in the May 27 Swiftsure and first in the 1983 Los Angeles to Honolulu Transpac race. She is chartered by Royal Vancouver Yacht Club members Ron paid Campbell Toronto as it was in Wednesday night's impressive 1-0 win over the Chicago Sting, but assistant coach Terry Hennessey admitted acquiring a striker is an immediate priority. "Our biggest problem at the moment is that we're putting tremendous pressure on Peter and Carl," Hennessey said yesterday. "If either or both of those players comes down with an injury we're really going to be struggling.

"We're continuing our search for player help," added Hennessey, "but there's a problem with the availability of players at the moment. Some of the other (NASD clubs have injuries and can't afford to make a trade at the moment." Lalonde kayoes Tite MERRILLVILLE, Ind. (AP) -Don Lalonde of Winnipeg scored a second-round knockout over Carlos Tite in a super middleweight boxing match Thursday night. Hennessey was confident, however, that the 'Caps will make a player acquisition within two or three weeks. "We're not discounting anybody, anything or anywhere," he said.

"I think it's fairly obvious that we don't have a great deal of cash, but that doesn't necessarily mean we must trade player-for-player. "We'll get somebody, somehow. A variety of things could be involved in a trade." COAL DUST The latest figure In from Vancouver Mayor Mike Har-court's 'Rally Round the Whitecaps' fund-raising drive is $188,780. Although the campaign officially ended June 24, 'Caps' public relations director Pam Glass said the mayor's office is still receiving "a trickling" of $100 cheques for the now-expired special offer of two tickets to the 'Caps' remaining home games.

'Caps meet the Blizzard in Toronto Sunday afternoon and entertain New York Cosmos July 8 at B.C. Place Stadium.

"Juergen Rauh ('Caps' team doctor) has examined David and said he can't play for a week, at the very least," trainer Lou Moro said Thursday.

With Cross sidelined the Whitecaps are left with only two established forwards Ward and Valentine and continued the search Thursday for another striker.

The Canadiens also signed Ste-phane Richer, a centre from Granby Bisons of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, to a similar deal. Richer was the club's second-round pick, 29th overall.
