Not Sure Exactly What FIGAWI Is? ...... From Figawi.com:
Along time ago (1972) four sailors started out from Baxters Boathouse in Hyannis to  race their sailboats to Nantucket. That race would be the first of the Figawi Race Weekends, and the beginning of what has become a Cape Cod tradition. In 1987 the Figawi organizers decided they wanted to create a means of giving back to their home communities and what better way than to develop a charity ball.
Over the last twenty years the Figawi Charity Ball has become the largest single night of fund raising for local charities.As a result, Figawi Charities Inc. generates nearly $200,000 each year and has provided over $2.2 million in support to local organizations who would otherwise go without. The Figawi Race, now with over 250 entrants, has certainly grown into one of the premier sailboat races on the east coast.
