Edson summer photo contest


Winners of Edson International’s Summer Photo Contest were announced at the 2009 Newport International Boat Show in September. The contest included entries in both the sail and power categories and feature owners enjoying the summer boating season and using Edson products.

After all, fun on the water, be it on a powerboat or sailboat, racing, fishing, or cruising, alone or with family and friends, is what brings us all together as a community.”
