The Rapscallion's Regatta is an annual sea race is organized by the Bilge King. The course changes each year, but is always a dangerous route among the various reefs and sandbars of western Eressea. Many ships fail to survive the course, but there are always a large number of entrants each year. Entrants must be captain of their own ship, and there is an entrance fee of 1000 gold pieces. The winner receives the total of all the entrance fees, the grant of a small island or anchorage within the Crow's Rest archipelago.
