New York Yacht Club commodore Paul M. Zabetakis comments: “Whether it’s bringing the world to Newport to compete in one of our regattas, or enabling our members to cruise Europe, the southern hemisphere and elsewhere, reliable and efficient yacht shipping is an essential service.
“A partnership with Peters & May… is a win-win for our members and our events. We’re very pleased to have Peters & May join our family of regatta partners for at least the next three seasons.”
