I assumed that, since the boats are not being donated for the event by the manufacturer, you will be paying charter fees to the owners of the boats.
For that matter, I would think the boat owners would want to sail in the event, too.
Good morning,
Yes Mary, your assumption is correct on this, the particulars on this are currently being drawn up with various options for the owners to make selection from.
An option has also been provided for on owner participation, should they wish too.
