ABOUT US
Founded in 1985 we have evolved over the years and remain a mainstay in Marina del Rey. Having participated in many Marina functions we are community oriented and always striving for the betterment of MDR.
It all began years ago at our Christmas Boat Parade, taking the "Best of Theme" for 1st place in 1987 (Judges special award) as well as Best of Civic/Service in 1987 and 1988. After taking 2nd place for the same award in 1986 we had such a good time that we did considerably better the next year.
Dorothy Franklin was past president of PMSA (Professional Marine Services Association) composed of 48 marine business owners in MDR i.e.; sail makers, riggers, mechanics, electronic specialists, etc.
Represented boat owners on the "MDR Arbitration board".
Represented boat owners in a "Task Force" (composed of 9, including MDR Visitors Bureau, a local attorney, a representative for the residents of MDR, a boat yard owner, a property developer consultant and developers), to remodel MDR recommended by Don Knabe (LA Board of Supervisors) in 2008.
