LGDCC 2010 Spring Dustoff Agenda

the club is happy to make the announcement for it's 15th Annual spring dustoff
looking forward to seeing you all there. If you have any questions please email me mnmveth@optonline.net

http://www.lgdonziclassic.com/invite.html (http://www.lgdonziclassic.com/invite.html)

please print the registration form out and mail it back with payment by May 24th for the price discount or by June 4th which is the dealine for registration

there are some important changes

1. THERE WILL BE NO DAY OF EVENT REGISTRATIONS

2. DRIVER'S SAFETY MEETING ATTENDANCE AND ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES ARE MANDATORY

Safety Procedures

We have always have a safe and enjoyable event with very little scrutiny by the local lake patrol in Lake George we plan on KEEPING it that way. This year we will be adopting some new safety procedures, some of these are requirements that MUST be followed some are suggestions that we would hope you follow as they make sense for your safety as well as others.

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 cruise 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)

Lake George Donzi Classic Club Requirements

1. No alcohol before or during the cruise ( 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 cruise

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

5. If the boat is equipped with a safety laynard it must be worn by the driver

any violation of the above will result in a disqualification from the event 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.

The Lake George Donzi Classic Club has always held the heritage of the "Donzi Classics" in high regards. We have always tried to enhance the ownership expierence for our members and the people who love the "classics" by helping them restore,maintain,and gather the history and heritage of their beloved Donzi.

With that in mind, It is with great pleasure and honor that the club can make this announcement.

We will be honored with the presence of one of the most integral members of the design team from Donzi's storied past. Credited with such designs instrumental in the development of the boats for not only Donzi but other famed boats of "thunderboat row".

Walt Walters will be our honored guest at this year's Dustoff. He will give us a great look into the past on Donzi and all of his other designs,prototypes,race boats and other history from the "thunderboat row" days.

The club is extremely happy about this and can think of no better way to celebrate our 15th annual Dustoff.

This year will be a dustoff not to miss, the club is now making a concentrated effort to get as many donzi classics , plus to get as many models of the donzi classics at the event this year.

You really don't want to miss this one, just think the man who designed many of our boats, who may have even been there at the factory to see your boat popped from the mold!

so get your DONZI CLASSIC tuned up ,shined up, and pointed up the NY State thruway towards Lake George.


see our website www.lgdonziclassic.com (http://www.lgdonziclassic.com) for info or questions on the event drop me a line

No way I can take my family all around Manhatten in the 16!
I fully plan on it hitting AOTH so it will be done by dustoff no matter what. I'm starting rigging it next week and the motor hits dyno in a week.
Can not wait for both these trips. Looking forward to seeing the Hornets!

some tips for everyone.

come to the algonquin Sat morning with a full tank of gas Beckley's , Chic's are all easy to find

make sure you have your lake permit, these can be purchased at the outdoorsman just down the road from Treasure Cove or on the water at Beckleys the marina directly across from The Treasure Cove docks

Friday night's BBQ will start around 7pm ish

Sat we need everyone at the Algonquin Docks by 8:15am, check IN , there will be a Continental breakfast , time for people to look at the boats ,meet and greet, the safety meeting then out on the lake.

make sure you have a PFD for everyone in your boat while out on the water everyone must have them on. Make sure you have a camera to get some pics of the great scenery. when we return to the algonquin you'll vote for driver's choice , get your hand for Texas hold'em hand, grab a bite to eat or explore the lake for the rest of the day

Just back and a great (long) weekend for all. Lake George delivered the goods on the weather: 80's everyday, no rain, lots of sun and water (just) warm enough to swim. Boating conditions ranged from calm on Thurs, Fri and Sunday- to moderate, wind driven chop w/ lot's of traffic in the Southern Basin on Saturday. The Run went off w/out a hitch and a big thanks to the Park Commission for sanctioning and overseeing the event.

While I'm thanking people:

Thanks to Matty and Scott for doing the heavy lifting organizing the event.

Thanks to Paul H for tracking down original Thunderboat Row designer Walt Walters and bringing him up - Walt's a cool dude w/ a lot of Hi-Po miles under his transom.

Thanks to John at Treasure Cove for hosting and for the cookout on Friday. TC is my LG home away from home.

Thanks to David H for bring up Hornet Marine hull #1 for all to see. Very cool - best of luck.

On a personal note: thanks to Brad V for loaning me the prop - me likey.

Also, thanks to Mike O for letting many of us (myself included) sample his very fine, new to him 18 (6.2, Bravo XR) - me likey too!

Thanks to Don N for explaining the finer points of a full house - I got 2nd in Texas Hold'em.

And thanks to KirbyVV for riding w/ me Saturday while his boat was unavailable.

Brad's pictures, when they are posted, are awesome. Thanks as always.

Jay thank you to yourself and everyone else that supported us this year , it was an awesome weekend.

Marie and I were standing on the dock when i took this pic


it struck us both as awesome and very sentimental. Walt designed and probably was there in 1968 when Paul's boat was popped from the mold to be re-united with it 42 years later to see it returned to showroom condition is truly a special moment.

like a proud father at a family reunion he walked the docks at looked at every classic there

should have seen his face light up with a grin from ear to ear when he got in and Paul and Scott took him for a ride.

hope Walt and his lovely wife Verne enjoyed themselves and a BIG thank you to Paul Herzan for making it all happen his inspiration and generosity will not be forgotten


more of my photos can been seen on the club's facebook page and Brad Verd's pictures will be up on the club's website shortly. Brad has 20 X30 prints available that are awesome for a $75 donation to the club a big thanks to him as well he caputures the event on film like no one else
