1970
Color

Boats competing in the 1970 America’s Cup. CU sailors raising colors for start signal of several races. Valiant pulling out quickly. Heritage still not as fast as other boats. Regardless, VO that she won several races. CU Heritage being lifted for hull/keel cleaning. CU sunburned Morgan putting and around crewmate and talking animatedly to him. Weatherly, 1962 winner, joined for July trial races; this meant two races could happen simultaneously. Skipper of Weatherly beat Heritage twice, but never Intrepid. CU from behind of two young girls watching boats. VO that Intrepid/Valiant rivalry most interesting. CU Bill Ficker (Intrepid’s captain) congratulating Bob Director onshore. CU drying sails on large lawn. Boats drift in harbor with sun setting in background.
