The meeting took place at the Sailing Center building on the NYYC campus and lasted about 2 hours and was followed by a cocktail hour at the Ida Lewis YC (http://www.ilyc.org/) a short walk away. This event kicks off a year long effort to recognize Sparkman & Stephens and will culminate in a 2019 Rendezvous of S&S boats in Newport.
