Roy Disney’s Reichel/Pugh 75 Pyewacket, which logged 329 miles at 13.7 knots in the first full day at sea, continues to stretch her lead in the 42nd Transpacific Yacht Race to Hawaii.

Beau Geste, a Transpac 52 sailed by Hong Kong businessman Karl Kwok with a largely New Zealand crew, now leads Division 2 boat for boat and is currently standing in second overall on corrected time.

Meanwhile, Renegade, an Andrews 70 sailed by Dan Sinclair of Vancouver had retired with steering sheave problems.

The frontrunner, Roger and Brenda Kuske’s Lady Bleu II, a Dynamique 62 from San Diego that started with the Aloha class a week earlier, was 884 miles from the finish but sailing into weaker wind above the rhumb line.
