sailboats. Commodore Fortenbaugh flew out <strong>to</strong> San Francisco with <strong>the</strong><br />

Clipper Challenge Cup <strong>to</strong> present it <strong>to</strong> Giovanni and his crew when <strong>the</strong>y<br />

Michael’s management of<br />

North Cove <strong>Marina</strong> combines<br />

this truly extraordinary and<br />

inclusive sailing program with a<br />

high-end urban marina that<br />

attracts some of <strong>the</strong> world’s<br />

largest super-yachts. North<br />

Cove is a precious resource <strong>to</strong><br />

New York City and Michael<br />

Fortenbaugh, over <strong>the</strong> last ten<br />

years, has been an excellent<br />

steward of <strong>the</strong> Cove. Along with<br />

many o<strong>the</strong>r supporters, I am<br />

hopeful that Michael will have<br />

<strong>the</strong> opportunity <strong>to</strong> run North<br />

Cove for ano<strong>the</strong>r ten years.<br />

also made two trans-Atlantic record attempts starting from North Cove.<br />

skippered by Francis Joyon. Joyon was <strong>the</strong> first great adventurer <strong>to</strong> stay<br />

at North Cove when we began managing <strong>the</strong> marina in 2005.<br />
