2012 DANA POINT HARBOR BOAT PARADE
What a wonderful Boat Parade we had this year at Dana Point Harbor! Yes, the "Hollywood Spirit" was very much in evidence as over 50 different boats received awards.
Click here to see all the award winners, courtesy of Michael Abbinante.
Speaking of spirit, below is DPBA's 5th annual award for the boat of any size displaying the Most Spirit. Did we say "boat"? Make that a fleet totaling 10 boats in all! This Hollywood train on the water began with a tow boat skippered by DPYC member Gary MacGleverty. Then there were a total of 8 decorated 8' Sabot sailboats, each skippered by a brave, and no doubt cold, Dana Point Yacht Club Junior Sailor. The DPYC whaler followed acting as the safety boat and "caboose".
DPBA congratulates the 2012 award winners, the DPYC Junior Sailing Foundation! A commemorative plaque and check for $250 dollars was presented by DPBA IT Officer Steve Carpenter and DPBA follower and President Rodger Beard, during the 2012 Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade Awards Breakfast held again this year on December 16th at Harpoon Henry's. |
