You must be a member of the LBT to participate in the Raid whether you are helping with camp support, operating the safety boats, providing on-water support in the mothership or one of the other accompanying yachts, sailing or rowing on your own boat or on one of the LBT boats. This is because the bureaucratic hurdles to hold a public event, to serve food, to sell alcohol and to 'hire' boats to the public are almost insurmountable. In contrast, everything is very simple if the event is limited to members-only. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as it is in the conditions of participation. Annual membership is $40 for an individual or $70 for a family.
