The idea would be to send Dave the $$, mail or PayPal, $20 you get a ticket, $35 for 2, $50 for 3, $100 for 7. Mark it "KA BWD fundraiser". Makes the donating more exciting, doesn't it?

Raffle vs. Advertisement
Just a clarifier so nobody feels anything is underhanded here: I refer to my original post - the sail, whichever is picked, is in lieu of part payment for advertisement on this site. Dave was to post a logo for me.
Now he wants it to be clear: the ad costs $360, I paid $50 (originally a donation) and the sail as payment, the money goes to the site. Technically, there is a sail raffle and anything beyond $310 is donation by Windsurfdeal/KA toward the BWD site.
Now, I didn't and still don't see the difference but he is adamant I make this clear (not sure if I have succeeded) so there it is. I'm not one for politics so PM me if you feel you have been wronged or misled, my goal was to give a sail of his choice to Dave for an ad and raise additional money for the site and now it's turned into this mess somehow Sorry, my brain doesn't work that way

Sounds like its already raised $200+ in the clear then. Dave has a highly tuned radar for ethics (I've run afoul myself) and if he sees a potential issue he's probably right and it is a grey area. Good on him for keeping the site squeaky-clean! In this case, I see you did say something about it in the original post, I'd forgotten that detail. Don't feel bad about it , Kus, its probably better to make it crystal clear anyhow.
The money is going to the site to keep it going. All of it I'm not getting any of it, neither is KA. The sail was donated by KA/Windsurfdeal.com and some form of advertising was expected in return, like it was at Windfest. I thought a logo was a great way to achieve this, the raffle was a user's idea.

Raffle
Just wanted to say I think the raffle is a great idea and on paper it looks like a huge success.
If I remember correctly Kus initiated the very successful money drive last Xmas as well, for a guy who hates politics you sure have a knack for raising money! Maybe you should consider running for something? I'd prolly vote for ya.
Thanks Kus and Dave

I can see where Dave doesn't want do personal favours for certain people because many people donate to the site just to support it so thanks for that Dave. But it looks as though KUS was just trying to "kill two birds with one stone" here so there's nothing wrong with that either and I admire his ingenuity. It's a bit unorthodox. However, I was planning on donating $50 to the site anyway because, next to my hockey pool ( - damn Hossa!), this is the best diversion I have (sad I know) and it's a great way to stay in touch with the wind seeking community. This way I get entered into a draw for a new sail for my $50.
Anyway. Thanks KUS for the initiative and thanks Dave for putting up with all of us. It'll work out.

KA sail draw
Kus/Dave,
Always best to explain things fully...cause some people can get weird after the fact.
It all makes sense...this is how things get don in the real world; but thanks for explaining it again Kus.
I don't need any new sails but this gave me an excuse to finally donate to the site. Just bought a couple of tickets via PayPal.
Thanks,
Keith

Final Word
Please note, all concerned: Because of some of the previous confusion, FYI no advertisement is gained through the raffle and the sail is, as intended, a clear 100% donation to the BWD site, no strings attached.
This raffle will end this Saturday, October 27th at noon, so if you wish to still donate and have a chance at winning a great KA sail, please do so. The draw will occur this weekend, any preferences when/where please PM me. thx
