The Ocean Racing Series lucky draw prize giving on the beach immediately after each race day has also drawn a lot of attention over the past years with some fantastic prizes. For the kids 12 years and under a prize giving takes place at 10am and this is followed by the adult prize giving which this year sees a R1,500 cash lucky draw prize each race day.
