The
Hatteras Grand Slam...
Within the last
five years, the Hatteras Grand Slam Tournament has tripled in
size. A bet which had started between Captains fishing one
day offshore in the prime of Marlin season off the Hatteras Coastline
in 2005, has become a successful Offshore Tournament. In
2009, we had 31 boats and their crewmembers which participated in the
tournament. This growth in participation allowed the community to
successfully implement a “grass roots” tournament.
This year’s mission is continued growth. Additionally, the
board wishes to promote the tournament encouraging a wider range of
boaters to participate.
The goal of the
tournament is to highlight the excellent offshore billfish fishing in
Hatteras during the summer season. Additionally, the
tournament is not exclusive and invites everyone to participate
regardless of fishing experience or boat style.
The Captains,
local marinas and businesses have been very receptive about having a
tournament in the community during peak billfish season.
Additionally, the Hatteras Harbor Charter Boat Association,
Waterman’s United, Hatteras Harbor Marina, Village Marina,
local restaurants and hotels have all been instrumental in
participating and promoting the event for the last two years. In order
to continue the growth of the tournament, all are committed to
promoting the event.
With this support,
the Hatteras Grand Slam Board of Directors was able to donate money to
local charities within the community. Our goal each year is
to increase our donation to the Waterman’s United and
Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation. The added feature of
having corporate sponsorships will raise this money.
Furthermore, the
Grand Slam Board of Directors and the Tournament Committee Chair are
contacting last year’s participants to encourage their
participation again for the 2010 tournament. Also, the
website is linked with an entry form that can be downloaded to
facilitate registration.
