I posted this a couple of weeks ago on the Open Forum and thought I would try here.

My crew, Laura Sullivan, and I are entered in the 9th Philippines Hobie Challenge to take place Feb. 16-23. This is a 250 nm endurance race through the Philippine archipelago. We believe we are the first American team to compete in this event.

We are seeking sponsors to help us with some of the cost of participating. Specifically, we are looking for a title sponsor to cover our entry fee. We need another supporting sponsor to cover the charter fee. And finally, we are looking for product sponsors to help us outfit boat and crew for this adventure.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in getting involved with this event, please contact me at nelson.peter(at)comcast.net.

Thanks very much.
