Original Toronto Star caption: U.S. Yacht; Dynamite; leads Mirage across finish line to win Canada's Cup series. Dynamite; skippered by Llwyd Ecclestone of Detroit; already has some sails down in this aerial photo. Mirage; spinnaker billowing; was 1 minute; 7 seconds behind in deciding race. Dynamite was designed for light winds after Ecclesstone and yacht's designer studied Lake Ontario weather charts for several years. Their gamble paid off. Dynamite won all three short races in series.
