Skiff Challenge 2022 is just 2 weeks away

by Hell's Bay Boatworks 25 Mar 2022 21:43 UTC

What began as a head-to-head battle for bragging rights has evolved into a daring feat. This race shines a spotlight on Florida's water crisis, by those who've been directly affected by it—boat manufacturers.

This year Hell's Bay owner and 3-time Skiff Challenge Champion, Chris Peterson, will relinquish his seat to his youngest son and HB Production Manager, Jake Raiken. Jake will be joining his brother and veteran Skiff Challenge Captain, JC Peterson, in the 1,300-mile nonstop circumnavigation of Florida. Chris will be joining the veteran chase team of Dan Hunt and Al Keller. He will be calling in audibles and knowledgeable advice as his two sons compete against five other boat companies to win this year's challenge.

Five teams are uniting for a common cause. It's not just about the businesses and ecosystems that rely on clean water, but about protecting the boating, fishing, and outdoor lifestyle that we all enjoy with our families.
