TOPIC: New Hammondsport (NY) event poster!

Not many changes, but enough to post and remind people about a sure-to-be fun filled weekend!

Wine Country Classic Boats, Inc.
29th Annual Antique Boat Show and Regatta
Hammondsport, NY July 16 and 17
Our Theme is Classic Fiberglass Travel back to Happy Days!

A strong contingent of Fiberglassics North East members, FGNE, will be represented at this year’s show. There will be a reunion of Custom Craft boats like the ‘64 Sun Ray shown at left. Come and check out this beauty, restored by John Gibson of Indiana, PA.

John Gambill plans to travel to our show from Michigan with his 1957 Arena Craft Barracuda, “Lida Rose”. Built by “Gold Cup Racer” Dan Arena, these boats are as rare as they are fast. With 200 built between ‘55 and ’57, fewer than 20 have survived and less than half of those restored. Come see a piece of history Fonzie would have given the “Thumbs Up”.

We also expect Jerry Ludwig from the Rochester area to bring a handsome group of Woodie Cars to the show. Jerry’s ‘48 Ford, pictured, would have looked look right at home in Richie Cunningham’s driveway or pulling in to Arnold’s Drive-In Restaurant.

If you’re a traditionalist and think a Classic Boat Show means you’ll be seeing old wooden boats, rest assured. In addition to the Classic Glass boats and Woodie Cars, there will be plenty of wonderful wooden boats displayed, too.

Our 28th Annual Regatta is at 11:00, Sunday July 17. This re-creation of past Keuka Lake Regattas will have a long course for the bigger boats and a shorter course for Classic Wood and Classic Fiberglass boaters just looking for some competitive fun.
Come and see what these boats can do, but hold on to your hat!

There will be lots to see and do and plenty a tasty food to sample as well. Come and spend a day with us in Hammondsport and enjoy the boats, cars and exhibits, as well as beautiful Keuka Lake!

The activities are at Depot Park on Water Street, Hammondsport
Show Saturday, July 16, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Regatta Sunday, July 17, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
The park is Handicapped Accessible and Admission is free.

thattaboy frank...keep the event current on the forum. ron

Jeez, I'm trying Ron!

thinking about entering for the dock space, is a 65 old enough to be a classic?

Well I plan on being there with either a 66 or 67 and I consider them classics.I am not sure of what the excact time line on these are,25-30 years like cars or further back? Personaly I would stop at 1980 as they all seemed to lose there originality around then,if not a few years before that. That's just my opinion, nothing "official".

I also think that blending the Woodies with the Glassics is a step in the right direction if they want to grow this hobby/sport/activity.Years ago the Snowboarders were looked on with disdain at Ski resorts,even banned at many.Well if it wasn't for them half the resorts would be closed down now as they have made there mark$$ and brought a ton of young people to the slopes that would otherwise never have gotten into it.I also love the designs of the Glassics that just could not be done with wood at a reasonable cost.From the hull design,flowing fins,steps and contours of decks and sides,molded in headlights,tail lights and dashboards in all shapes.They are in many cases much more unique than a Woody.Now wood is also beautiful to look at and I look forward to taking it all in!

IF I was running a show I would want as many boats as possible in wood and glass along with aluminum as there are some awsome tinnys out there as well.This ain't a Country Club full of snobs to the best of my knowledge so lets Kick it at Hammondsport!!

Frank,
Unfortunately after looking at my work schedule I will not be able to make it. I was hoping to bring the Clipper but not this time. I'll have to keep an eye out for some other shows that may be closer to me.

BOB, theres the TUCKERTON SEAPORT, TUCKERTON, N.J. (PHILADELPHIA ACBS SHOW)IN SEPTEMBER. pretty much a stones throw from maryland. i attend the show every year. maybe you can make that. ron

Thanks Ron, that could be a good one. It would be my first show ever so may be good that it's a close one. Is that a trailer and water show? I hope to have the trailer done by then but I think my boat would look better in water right now.

Bob

frank could you email me that press release with the pics?i would love to see it all,thanks, john

I tried John, but it's almost 5 MB, so we'll see if you can download it. If you can, the poster is a bit smaller and I could email that to you as well. It's about 4 MB.

I always figured a classic boat was pre-70, but there were a number of newer (very slick) wooden boats at the meet last year, so I don't really know what to suggest.

For cars, it's all over the board. NSRA says a street rod is 1948 and earlier. A number of car cruise-ins say 25 years or older, others are wide open.

I see we have a new FGNE forum below. I will start posting stuff there. Thanks you to whoever set those up!

Frank
