Best Dressed Dock Competition

Members with vessels docked at the Club are

requested to "Dress Ship" for the 127th "Opening Day" at the San Diego Yacht Club. As an incentive, the dock with the highest percentage of dressed yachts will be awarded a prize. In the past, the prize has been a dock cart full of beer and wine.

Dressed vessels on each dock will be counted the morning prior to the ceremony. The percentage will then be calculated. The dock with the highest percentage of dressed yachts will be announced and the prize will be awarded during the ceremony.

Dig out your old signal flags or buy a new set, but be sure they are flying high on Opening Day.

Flags do not have to be displayed in any particular order. They only need to create a colorful and festive appearance. Irrepressible overachievers can get creative and spell out your boat name, the Commodore's name or some other appropriate words of phrases.
