Yellowfin runs hard in this year's Florida Skiff Challenge

by Yellowfin 20 Apr 2022 03:00 AEST

Although we fell just short of the win (by only seven minutes!), Team Yellowfin ran a hard and successful race in this year's Florida Skiff Challenge, placing a close second.

Heath Daughtry and Jason Joule completed the 1,300-mile course and in the process, helped raise vital funds for Captains for Clean Water. The grand total raised this year by the teams and their supporters exceeded $187,000.

Congratulations to Hells Bay Boatworks, the winners, and to all of the companies who participated and helped support this most worthy cause!
