Dustoff Agenda and Safety Requirements

[mattyboy]

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

the final preperations are coming together for the run. we have confrimation from the LGPC Patrol , they will be on hand for the safety meeting updating us on local info on the lake conditions and traffic. To keep the run on schedule we'll need to have all the Classics and drivers at the docks by 8:30.
At sign in make sure you have your boat reg numbers with you .

the run is open to all donzi classics that have been signed in , there will be no shadowing or tagging along with boats not registered for the run/ regatta
all registered classics will get a receipt for the regatta.


the regatta we need everyone to get used to saying that ;)

[jl1962]

Careful Matty - it's a slippery slope from the R-word to the S-word :nilly:

BTW - This ain't no regatta - but either way we've got it covered! :boat:

Jay

there is no leeway in these regulations they all will be followed


Thank You

see you all up there :)

[mattyboy]

please a reminder everyone in the boat needs to wear a PFD so if you plan on having passengers they need to wear a PFD so make sure you bring them and it wouldn't hurt to throw an extra one in the boat.

if there are people in the boat without them the boat will not be able to participate in the run or the passengers need to stay on the dock

[mattyboy]

ok the trivia quiz is done and ready to go all the stuff is ready to go for an early thursday departure.

Just a quick note with things to remember

Have PFD's for everyone to wear in your boat

gas up before going to the Algonquin on sat morning

get a lake pass buy a week pass they are more economical . they can be purchased at the marina directly across from treasure cove (beckley's), the outsdoorsman sport shop just about a 1/2 mile north of treasure cove by car on rt 9, and at Chic's marina next to the Algonquin
Display these stickers as instructed on the windshield less classic some put them by their state reg numbers the stickers have the instructions on where to place them.

see you all up there

be ready to have a great time
