MAYRA Regatta
Cooper River Y.C., Collingswood, NJ
Sunday, June 12, 1994

  Twenty-four boats gathered at Cooper River, just east of Philadelphia, on a grey day in June with light and shifty winds. The Masters started each race first, with the seniors and juniors following at five minute intervals. The race committee sits on top of the club house on shore and sights down a line which is permanently set in front of the clubhouse. Starting signals are given by a stoplight mounted on the roof!

            Cooper River is similar to Johnson’s Slough in Illinois in that it is very narrow and its winds are unpredictable. Courses are combinations of permanent marks that may take you from one end of the river basin to the other and back. A good fleet and keen level of competition made this a very successful regatta. Its location near Philadelphia draws sailors from the Marsh Creek and Peace Valley fleets in PA, all the fleets of the South Jersey Shore, and several sailors from northern NJ. Cooper River holds two Sunfish regattas each year; look for their fall regatta on October 1. Thanks to Crystal Passauer for providing the results.
