There are few things in life that make us feel quite as fancy as chillin' on a boat. 

The Lonely Island might have said it best when they proclaimed, "I'm on a boat." This statement is not only incredibly poetic, but also radiates immense truth. 

Nothing compares to the open waters, beautiful sights, and crisp air that inevitably accompany a boat journey. 

The Atlantic Cup is the first and only dedicated Class40 professional sailing race in the United States in which champion sailors from all over the world come together to compete for the crown.

And while we would prefer to spend the majority of our time "drinkin' Santana champ cuz it's so crisp", unfortunately it's not something we get the chance to indulge in often. 

But lucky for you, we've partnered with The Atlantic Cup to provide a once-in-a-lifetime sailing opportunity. 

The Atlantic Cup, presented by 11th Hour Racing, is the first and only dedicated Class40 professional sailing race in the United States in which champion sailors from all over the world come together to compete for the crown.  

This biennial event runs all along the eastern seaboard, launching from Charleston, South Carolina and ending in Portland, Maine.

But this will be the first year it makes a stop at Brooklyn's absolutely beautiful One˚15 Marina. That has more to do with this being the first year the Marina's been around for it, but still, you gotta give it up for history right?!

But how about watching the Pro-Am race on a boat right in the thick of the action? Sounds like something you wouldn't want to miss, right? Well, unless you're rolling with us, you're going to be rockin' the wayfarers with the landlubbers. 

We're giving away 2 Pro-Am tickets aboard one of the competing Atlantic Cup boats as a crew member in the Atlantic Cup Pro-Am. 

The lucky winner and their guest will get to experience what it's like aboard a Class40 boat as you race around New York Harbor and catch stunning views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty as your backdrop.

But you get to squad up on the high seas (because, you know, pirates...), as the winner will also get 4 additional VIP tickets to watch the race on a "Chase Boat," where they'll catch these same (though, definitely less exciting) iconic views of NYC and join you at the exclusive Pro-Am cocktail party afterwards.

Sounds like a pretty perfect way to kick off summer, right? Right.

This contest rolls from May 18th until the 27th where we're giving the good news to the grand winner just in time to celebrate something more on Memorial Day Weekend. Enter using the form above. It's seriously that simple. 

You're welcome. We rock. You rock. The ship will rock. Everything about this rocks. 

So party people, grab your swim trunks and your flippy-floppies, and get ready to set sail in style.
