Professional: someone who makes a living in a sport that amateurs compete.
Pickwick prize purse
Catlite $22,500.00
Supercat $22,500.00
Vee lite $10,000.00
COB $ 5,000.00
Vee $ 5,000.00
Ok, maybe its not a living, but it is going in the right direction!
*All figures are estimated based on boats in each class.

All boats in every class get the same amount of money then it is multiplied by the number of boats in the class. Then on top of that is the Mercury contingency money for the winners and for the year end overall top 5..... It works out really good.

Very nice. Has anyone looked at the cost of travel to compete in OSS vs. say SBI/APBA.
The purses look enticing, but if it costs you 4x as much to compete then it kind of takes the shine off the apple.
