America's Cup Races.
America's Cup Races.
A girl, Selinda, runs into her parents' bedroom in the middle of the night, claiming that a strange man just climbed through her window. The event causes a commotion in the entire residential area where they live. Some immediately assume that the outsider running the convenience store is the perpetrator. Others doubt the girl's story. In the midst of this drama, middle-aged Paul is trying to find his way back to his daughter, who is growing up, and away from him.
In this picture a fine idea of the jockeying and start is given, showing Shamrock III. very close, the sailors running back and forth as she passes the camera. The Reliance crossed the line a few seconds after the Shamrock in this race, and a close view of her is also shown.
