Right on Mark! Thanks for the support. We (Surf City Catamarans) work very hard to support local cat racing here in NorCal and all over the world. We are a fairly small shop and try to support our local regattas as much as possible with chase boats on the water, organizing, keeping the gear working, etc. We don't have a ton of dough to give to the regatta committee, and realized that this event was short charter boats, so we cooked up this idea. We have some of the top 16 sailors from all over the Americas wanting to come to this event and very few charter boats, so we stole the idea from some of the other fleets that have successfully done a raffle. So if you buy tickets for this boat, you are not only supporting a great charity, you are supporting our charter boat fleet. Oh, and I am unabashedly marketing my business in the process. And it is the North Americans.
