Many have asked what they could do to help!

There are some opportunites to be involed in a visually significant and important role in this milestone event, the Quest for the Johnson Cup... 42 years in the making!

I'm looking for leaders, people who want to make a difference in our sport.

If you have an interest, and are available, ALL EVENT SETUP AND TRACK TESTING BEGINS AT 0800, THERE IS SOME HEAVY LIFTING AT 10:00 with at least one Stern Steerer to be erected. along side a very old display dn, smithsonian grade?.

Other trophy grade display boats are welcome, please advise, this must remain rational.

Many other sponsor partners and key resources are scheduled then. ATV's for Event Support, Warming Houses, Tent, Scaffold, and a few roles listed in the comments section.
