COOPER BOATING news ~ latest information about boating in BC
We've been watching the transformation and the 1928 R Class Yacht "Lady Van" for a while now.
She was re-christened this week at a well attended ceremony at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. The restoration nearly complete now, the story will continue with the battle over a very old trophy this fall - the Alexandra Cup (1906) - and the drama between Vancouver, Seattle and Sidney is already entertaining to say the least. The first 'brandishing of the swords' will occur at the RIPS regatta in August, where a number Cooper crew members will be helping out with race management (make sure to let us know if you want to help with this and get the best seat in the house for seeing the battle of these classic yachts)
We are close to many of the people involved in this boat and are delighted to see this magnificent boat back in the water and soon to sail again in English Bay.
