Reception tickets are $25 if purchased in advance and $30 after September 14 or at the door. Tickets are available online through the current-race page of the Nathan’s website, www.skipjack-nathan.org. All proceeds benefit the Choptank Heritage Skipjack Race, which takes place on Saturday, September 21, beginning at 10 a.m. off Long Wharf in Cambridge.
