Raffle...
Win This (or another valuable choice)
MCSC is conducting an
extremely competitive
regatta up to and during the
Lobster Boil.
The competition centers
around the winning raffle ticket
for the yacht Freedom.
Whether you own a boat or not, this one
provides complete “freedom” from tangled lines,
luffing sails, slip, torage fees and it never
requires washing!
So what is this fabulous boat? It is a perfectly
sized 5' metal sculpture designed to sail in your
garden, deck, or patio! Built primarily of
copper and aluminum, the sturdy weighted base
is wrapped with “experienced” rope to
compliment the nautical theme. It even comes
with sparkling water and jumping fish!
Freedom was conceived and built by talented
MCSC enthusiasts, including Karen Buelow,
Gene Neyhart, R.C Zingler and Leon Boniface,
with help and advice from several others.
TICKETS AVAILABLE AT MCSC

member brings their own accroutement for the celebration.
