Raffles and Silent Auction to Raise Funds for Sails

Raffles and a Silent Auction will be held at both the DASH to Chula Vista and the Kyle C. McArthur Regatta.   Funds raised will go towards buying new sails for our 8 Martin 16 sailboats.  Credit cards, checks and cash will be accepted.

Raffle items include theater tickets, gift certificates to museums, fine restaurants and beautiful sailing themed jewelry for men and women and more.  Raffle drawings will be held at each regatta's after-race party.




Silent Auction items include fine art (including an original watercolor by local artist Morgan Gunderson of the Martin 16s sailing toward the Coronado Bridge), prints by Thomas Kinkade, cruises from Flagship, Hornblower, and Jamie McArthur, a land survey by Casey Lynch of Burkett and Wong Engineers, wine basket, spa basket, beach basket and many more.  Bids on the silent auction items may be made at both regattas.  Winners will be determined at the after-race party April 19.
