Your sponsorship is valuable beyond estimation and vital to the continued success of our organization. Sponsorship enables us to put on the Regatta for the 56th year. Your contribution will be also be used to promote the preservation of the classic sailing vessels, with scholarships, grants and  matching funds to individuals and organizations who are keeping our honored traditions alive.  Recent recipients include Wooden Boats for Veterans, Matthew Turner Educational Tallship as well as passage making scholarships aboard the schooner Seaward.

This year, the sponsors lunch will again be held at the St. Francis Yacht Club on May 20th, at 11:30.  The luncheon is a time for us to give thanks to our sponsors, share in the history of our organization and the vessels and simply all be together.  While last years’ event  was really nice, this year will be an occasion to really be social, a welcome reprieve from the solitary times the last 2 years have brought us. 

At the luncheon, sponsors will present their company’s flag to the skipper of the yacht to be displayed during the regatta, at the Awards Ceremony and again on the day of the Wooden Boat Show at the Corinthian Y.C. in Tiburon.  Sponsors also receive two tickets to the Wooden Boat Show hosted by and benefiting our 501(c)3 Master Mariners Benevolent Foundation (MMBF).  AS always, if you do not have a specific vessel to sponsor, or would like to sail for the regatta, please allow us to pair you in advance of the luncheon.

We are also pleased to announce the Master Mariners Regatta will take place on Saturday, May 28th at 12:00 at St. Francis YC.  Following the regatta, you are invited to join the awards ceremony, dinner and live music at the Encinal Yacht Club in Alameda.

Please complete the attached reservation form and return it to be with a check payable to MMBA by May 6th.  Please also submit any digital or proof images for inclusion in our website and newsletter.  Thank you again for your support. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
