Silver Gate Yacht Club Annual Wheelchair Regatta

This year Mikelson Yachts was lucky enough to participate in Silver Gate Yacht Club's Annual Wheelchair Regatta! For those of you who are not familiar here is what SGYC has to say about their event:

"Long before public awareness and paying it forward for the less fortunate were familiar subjects, the founding members of Silver Gate Yacht Club decided to do something for the community. 53 year...s ago, they came up with the totally radical idea of putting people in a wheelchair, aboard a boat at a floating dock. The SGYC Wheel chair regatta was born.

Today we are honored to continue their legacy. The less fortunate of our community get to enjoy a day on the water. With the young men and women of the Marine Corps providing the muscle power, our guests get lifted, wheel chair and all, and placed on yachts whose owners donate their time and boats to make this day happen."
