ALBACORES and BARNEY HARRIS win 47th VIRGINIA GOVERNOR'S CUP. Sailing in extremely stiff wind (18 - 25 knots) and rough seas on Saturday, and in extremely hot temperatures Sunday, a tough group of 55 small boat sailors raced their brains out on the Ware River over the weekend. At the end of it all, the Albacore Class got in the most individual starts (among class members) and, therefore, the winner of that class, Barney Harris and crew Leigh (1-2-1-1-1) carried home the Gov Cup keeper. This was the 47th time Ware River Yacht Club has run the Governor's Cup. CLASS WINNERS: Albacore (12 boats): Barney Harris and Leigh; Buccaneer (7 boats): Jeffrey Moore and Jolie Homsher; Hampton One Design (5 boats): Latane Montague and Allison; Laser (10 boats): 
Jake Spratcher; Tri-Foil Moth (5 boats): Joe Bousquet; Mutineer (7 boats): Jerry Thompson and Bernard; Portsmouth Handicap Fleet (3 boats): Fred (Emery) Nemeth and Caitlin Nemeth; Sunfish (6 boats): Brian McGinnis. The Sunfish were competing for their Mid-Atlantic Championship. Event Chairman - Clayton James; PRO - Rick Klein (Note: In addition to the Governor's Cup Regatta (adults), also being sailed was the a junior event along with a separate Optimist event - complete results for all three regattas are available at the Ware River Yacht Club website.)
