I was going through all my old boxes of boat racing trophy´s and found this one.
Very special..!!
It is a Russian silver challenge trophy from the last Duvnäsviken Two Hour race in Stockholm late 1976.

This race was my home town boat race and I was twice the overall winner.
Problems with the local permits stopped the future two hour race.
There is lots of Russian names on this close to 100 year old trophy..
I took it to the marina at Lake of the Ozarks and showed my friend Dr. Bob from Nebraska.

Well..I maybe did brag a bit and Dr. Bob told me to kiss the trophy when he took a “Bjorn Borg style picture”..
There is only one trophy like this in the world..and I am not going to give it up..
Now..to the fun part..Dr. Bob then renamed the trophy and said it look like a urn for my ashes..!!
