ST. PETERSBURG YACHT CLUB

Editor’s noteWhen planning this second edition, our goal was to have an appendix listing every major achievement of our club and its

members. The draft compilation numbered in the hundreds; our page budget could not accommodate it. What follows is a list that is not complete, but is a best effort at being representative. Every contest is hard and every win deserves recognition. To those persons whose achievements have suffered from the editor’s pencil, please accept my regrets.WCB
