Personal message

Support the Combustion Technology Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us not only make it first across the finishing line, but also onto the Fundraising Leaderboard. 

We are raising funds for Kevan Wright and his tireless work of raising awareness for pancreatic cancer, and the harsh road to recovery from it. He is an inspiring individual and we are very proud to partner with him in the Race.
