Dead Heat at Cowes. At Cowes the King, wearing bright yellow oilskins, boarded his yacht Brittama and raced in the Solent against the Candida and the Westward, and after a ding dong battle the Royal yacht dead heated with Mr Davis’ schooner Westward, which started so badly that she had lost 339 seconds to the Britannia at the end of the first round, but recovered brilliantly. A dead heat is very rare in a long race over a4O mile course. There was a hard breeze and driving rain. The general opinion is that the King was plucky to sail on such a day.
