FYI UPDATE
let me preface this by saying we have never had any issues or problems, we don't expect there to be any this year, we want to keep it that way in the future.
THIS YEAR WILL BE A FIRST AS OUR RUN IS A SANCTIONED REGATTA.
We have filed all the permits and will operate this run in cooperation with the LGPC. The permit has requirements that IF NOT MEET OR OBEYED could lead to the club forfieting having any runs in the future on the lake. We don't even want to think about any thing of the sort.
We realize that everyone wants to run their boat and they will have more than an chance to do that, we also know that for the first timer there is a level of anxiety that comes with going to a new event unfamiliar waters and people. Let me assure you, you will find no better water or people on the planet. The format of the run will let seasoned veteran and the newbie on the lake enjoy and see the entire lake in the safety of numbers.
Lake George Park Commission Requirements
1. a lake pass: purchased at any marina usually under $15 for a week pass all boats must have them displayed as the sticker instructs
2. there is a 45 mph speed limit
3. Noise the lake has a 90db limit and they do enforce it, (we have not had much attention to our group but if you run open pipes or close to shore like a mad man they will find you ! please if you know your boat is EXCESSIVELY loud and have been thinking of installing mufflers do it if you have them use them, we will also take routes on the lake that will keep us away from the shore line also keep in mind we have members with old Holman moody setups to 500 HP + motors with headers and we have not been a target for the patrols
we feel that ther permit should help us in this area
Lake George Donzi Classic Club Requirements
1. No alcohol before or during the run( we have never had a problem with this but it must be said)
2. Everyone in the boat must wear a USCG APPROVED PFD type III at all times during the run
3. No passing the Flag/Pace boat
4. Adherence to any other items set forth at the drivers safety meeting including but not limited to boat spacing and routes during the run.
Attending the driver's safety meeting is mandatory
5. if the boat is equipped with a safety laynard it must be worn by the driver
6. a valid state or USCG registration for the boat properly displayed
any violation of the above will result in a disqualification from the poker run and show and may lead to other disciplinary action deemed appropriate by the Club
Safety Suggestions
1. each boat be equipped with the "USCG safety package"
2. If you have a hand held VHF radio or cell phone bring it communication by cell is spotty at best but if we have a network of phones and radios we can relay messages
3. first aid kits
4. hand held gps
We appreciate everyone's cooperation in this and Thank You all for your support of the club. Looking forward to seeing you, get that winter Donzi project done!!
If you have any question or concerns please contact us
