The first event in the 2007 Bisbee’s Bluewater CUP Series will kick off at Baja’s East Cape on July 31st through August 4th at the Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore Tournament.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, July 24, 2007 - We have five more qualifying tournaments in this year’s CUP Series, three of which are on Catalina Island and two in Los Cabos. If you fish in any of these six qualifying tournaments, you’re automatically enrolled in the CUP Series, and we’ll be tracking your angling successes at each event. The top 10 points earning teams will be invited to participate in the Bisbee’s Bluewater CUP Championship Tournament to be held in Cabo San Lucas on November 29 through December 2 where “THE Champions of Billfishing” will be crowned. For details on participating in the CUP Series and how to qualify for the Championship, please visit www.bisbees.com.
Since we wrote you last, three exciting new Bluewater CUP Series sponsors have joined Eastern Pacific Yacht Club (EPYC) and Contender Boats. These are Monaco Financial, Body Glove and Snell Real Estate. We’ll be telling you about these companies in future eBlasts, but for now, we’d like to focus on our only boat building sponsor, Contender Boats based in Homestead, Florida.
If there’s one thing Contender has proven, it’s that you don’t have to be around a long time to be considered a legend! In just 20 short years, Contender has redefined all that a sportfishing boat can be. From their early beginnings, they’ve evolved from the original hull design of the classic 25’ to the sophisticated power and performance of today’s tournament proven winners. And unlike some mass production boat builders, Contender prides themselves with a traditional “hands on” boat building philosophy while using the most advanced modern materials and quality components available. But just like the people they aim to please, the serious fisherman, they too are never satisfied. That is why they will continue to do all they can to refine and improve the concept of the ultimate sportfishing boat. And, as a semi-custom manufacturer, Contender, through your dealer, can make modifications to meet your personal fishing style.
To meet the growing demands for Contenders, a new state-of-the-art production facility began operation on March 1st, 1997 which enables them to produce even more high performance hulls while maintaining the quality customers have come to expect. Each Contender is, and always will be, a one-of-a-kind creation—just like the passionate souls who purchase them. Please visit www.contender.com to see the full line-up of their boats from the 21 ft. Center Consoles to the 38 ft. Express.
