Latham L. Goble Award presented to Seattle Yacht Club

The Latham L. Goble Award is made annually to a person or group outside the marine industry who has contributed the most to inspire boating activities to help “Grow Recreational Boating.”

Seattle Yacht Club was nominated for the award because of its contribution and involvement in promoting boating in the following way:

  • Opening Day celebration and Windermere Cup Crew Races
  • Special People’s Cruise on Christmas Ships
  • Junior Sailing Program
  • Unique committee based membership with 65+ different committees that focus and promote boating and life on the water
    • The NMTA has also worked closely with Seattle Yacht Club to interface with the Puget Sound Partnership on behalf of recreational boating, and with the new Seattle Fire Department regulations as related to the marina fire a few years ago.

      The Latham L. Goble Award is given by the Northwest Marine Trade Association Board of Trustees and presented on behalf of the members of the association.
