Dedication:

The 6th Classic Yacht Symposium is presented in honor of John Palmieri

We simply wouldn't have a Classic Yacht Symposium of the caliber we have today if it were not for our Curator Emeritus, John Palmieri. John singlehandedly oversees the writing, voluminous editing and organization of papers submitted for CYS. He has logged thousands of hours on this daunting task and so often, without fanfare or complaint. With his naval officer background, keen intelligence and quick wit, he epitomizes the adage “grace under pressure”. We are most grateful for his many efforts over the course of six Symposia.
