HERALD CORRESPONDENT CAPE TOWN - Apple Macintosh was first across the· line in the South Atlantic yacht race. But the position of 3CR12 and a number of other yachts could not be ascertained by the communications vessel Howard Davis yesterday morning.
This has had a distorting effect on the actual and handicap places in the latest computer race-position log, which is published here as received. YACHT MAP
