All returning skippers who bring a new participant who crosses the starting line will receive a 40% reimbursement of their entrance fee. This addition to the already discounted early entrance fee which ends on February 28th. So, call your friends! Check in with your local Yacht Clubs and boat yards and find those skippers who want to take the Wetherill Challenge, but just don’t know it yet!
NOW is the time!
All boats registered by midnight on February 28th not only enjoy the reduced fee but will also be entered in the early entry drawing the winner of which will have their entire entrance fee refunded. (All fees are refundable until May 11th, so there is no risk in entering early.)
