Top Ten Yacht Clubs in the USA
|
We sincerely apologize, but our competition sponsor has had a major financial crisis this Summer and has asked to postpone the contest to 2003. The Yacht Club evaluation was to take place during July and August at a cost of around $25,000 in flights, rooms, meals, and trophies for the respective clubs. The flights and rooms are for the judging panel to visit the top 25 clubs and for the 1st and 2nd place Commodores to fly to and stay in San Francisco. This is a setback for us at YachtClub.com, but we expect to secure the financing for next year's competition. Thank you for you patience. |
Trophies
will be given to the Top 10 at the end of each year
