Unique for this regatta is the opportunity to improve your vessel's PHRF rating by 1 second for every $100 raised. Whether you're an experienced racer or just enjoy being out on the water, this event allows you to make a difference while enhancing your performance on race day.

Even if you're not racing, you can participate by raising funds to support The WaterFront Center's mission. As you reach set fundraising goals, you'll have the chance to win fun prizes along the way.
