SOME GREAT DANE FROM TULANE
Hugh D. Whall
November 09, 1970
John Dane III, that is, a fiery competitor who successfully defended the Douglas Cup collegiate match-racing championship in California by giving up just as many defeats as he had last year—none
In his next to last
victory Dane out-raced Southern Cal's Andy Macdonald, who had spent most of
last summer running the foredeck on Charlie Morgan's 12-meter Heritage. Dane's
margin was only 14 seconds, and there was a protest. The protest was
denied.
No one thought to
protest the name Dane had given his boat, H. Monroe's. What cannot be denied,
though, is that it was the name of a famous old New Orleans brothel.
