FBYC Race Team member Alexander Hanna won the 2013 Governor’s Cup this past Sunday at Ware River Yacht Club. Alexander was first in the Laser Radial Fleet, which was the largest fleet competing in this year’s regatta. Under the Deed of Gift for the Governor’s Cup, the winner of the fleet with the most starts at the regatta wins the Governor’s Cup. This is the first year in its 49 year history it has been awarded to a junior sailor. Alexander has competed on the FBYC Race Teams for a number of years in both Optis and Lasers. Completing the clean sweep in the Laser Radial Class, fellow FBYC Race Team members Eric Roos and Graeme Alderman took second and third, respectively.
FBYC sailor Latane Montague, sailing with his son and FBYC Race Team member Jackson Montague, captured the Hampton One Design’s National Championship, which was sailed in conjunction with the Governor’s Cup. FBYC juniors also swept the Opti White Fleet, with Latane Montague II capturing first, followed by Will Street and Ren Moody; and Amanda Almany finished third in the Opti Red Fleet!
