2008 Riverton Governor's Cup

 

Stars appeared for the 2nd straight year on the Delaware River at Riverton Yacht Club’s annual governor’s cup regatta. Six boats from three different fleets represented the Star Class to challenge for the cup. Three very competitive races on Saturday and two Sunday with light conditions and strong current made for challenging racing.

With four different boats each finishing first the final outcome came down to the last race with Mark Oberg finishing first overall, Keith Donald 2nd and Glenn Smyth 3rd. Worth noting first timers in stars, were Nicolaus Pro taking the helm with his Dad as crew, also Avery Donald and Glenn Smyth Jr. crewing with there fathers.

Saturday night’s barbecue with ribs, chicken, live music and the Machine (Margarita) made for a festive party with everyone enjoying the excellent food, spirits and camaraderie of fellow sailors.

A special thanks to all the participants and the Riverton Yacht Club for hosting this regatta. Special thanks to the race committee and volunteers, for there hard work help make this a memorable regatta.
