Longtime YCA members Raf and Sascha are taking a massive leap and raffling off their beloved monohull, SV Spear It Animal.
It’s bold. It’s risky.
And for someone out there, it’s going to completely change their life.
You can enter to win this 50 foot vessel, starting at only $25.
These two have spent years sailing full-time on this beast of a vessel, pouring their energy, time, and serious dollars into upgrading her into an off-grid, blue water home. But this chapter is coming to a close—for a bigger mission.
Their next project? Another massive swing—restoring a hurricane-damaged catamaran currently upside-down in the mangroves.
Because that’s what they do: they dive headfirst into big, meaningful dreams.
If you’ve been around YCA for a while, you know Raf and Sascha.
They’re not just members—they’re cornerstones.
They’ve hosted floatchellas and spontaneous meetups in anchorages all over the world, took home YouTube Channel of the Year at the 2024 International Cruisers Awards (and yep—they got engaged on stage), and they’ve supported countless cruisers along the way. They’re truly some of the kindest, most down-to-earth humans out there.
Now they’re flipping the script and asking the community to show up for them.
Instead of listing Spear It Animal for sale, they’re opening up the chance for someone—maybe you?—to make their own dream of liveaboard life a reality, for as little as $25.
And when you win, you won’t be alone.
🛥️ Spice Island Marine is throwing in some free storage to help ease the transition.
🤝 Raf and Sascha will be there to walk you through life aboard.
🌍 And of course, the entire YCA community will be waiting—ready to welcome you with open arms (and maybe a sundowner or two).
