KKMI Boatyard and Chandlery Joins 2008 Pacific Cup as Sponsor
San Francisco, California – Keefe Kaplan Maritime, Inc, “KKMI” to its friends , will be providing sponsorship to the 2008 Pacific Cup race from San Francisco to Hawaii, race officials announced. KKMI has been the starting and equipping point for many successful, safe, and enjoyable runs from San Francisco Bay to Hawaii and beyond.
“We really enjoy working with Pacific Racers,” said KKMI’s Erica Kaplan, “the equipment needs of that long, unsupported passage make this a challenge that we are well-equipped to meet.” KKMI not only consists a top-of-the-line boatyard, but also a fully stocked chandlery, rig shop, engine service station, and electronics center. They provide support to all kinds of marine vessels from small dinghies to mega-racers such as Mari-Cha III and Morning Glory.
“I’m very pleased to see KKMI on board,” said Michael Moradzadeh, Pacific Cup Commodore. “Not only does KKMI do a great job on my boat, I get peace of mind that things were done right and a bottle of wine, too.”
