Text from newspaper caption: Heavy seas off Los Angeles Harbor sent boats in the star class careening to a dangerous angle with the crews clinging to the sides yesterday as the Tenth Annual Midwinter Regatta neared a conclusion. The thrilling classic comes to a close today with winners in each class being selected after a week's sail maneuvering on courses near the harbor entrance. The By-C leads in the star class.
