“Congratz to the ‘Ratz" for making the most of the 2020 season, and we were happy to present the MudRatz with a grant to launch their "After Dark" program and the delivery of their newly donated J/105. We are also thrilled to see their goals for the future include "growing the sport across all diversity lines while keeping it safe and fun."
