Donzi' at tavares fl show march 18-24 please rsvp

[bertsboat]

OK, I have arranged for a Donzi section in the Mt Dora/Tavares boat show this year. The dates are as follows.
Classic Race boat Regatta
March 19-17, 2013
Wooten Park , Lake Dora, Tavares FL

Sunnyland Boat show
March 18-24, 2013
Wooten Park, Lake Dora, Tavares FL
http://www.acbs-sunnyland.org/

The Sunnyland show is where all the Donzi’s will be in a section of dock
Displayed side by side.
I had my Baby there last year and I was really surprised how it was received.
Best part about the show and the location is that you can take your boat out all day during the show.
Some shows ask that you stay at the dock the whole time so that people can admire. I was taking everyone that
expressed an interest out for a blast and it was really fun and I met lots of new friends, some from here at Donzi.net.

So lets have a count so I can let Terry Fiest know how many slips he has to set aside. He is the person in charge of the whole show and he is really excited to have the Donzi group there this tear.

If you have never boated on Lake Dora it is a really scenic place with lots of rooms and great fun close by.
Best place to stay is The Mission INN. It is about 5 miles away in Howie in the Hills. The rate is about $120.00 per night.
They have a great Golf coarse and great Pool and Jacuzzi in case you bring the kids and the Wife.
The food there is great and reasonable and open late. They also have pool tables and a card room not to mention a few great
Bars.
Mention ACBS for a good rate and visit their web site at www.missioninnresort.com

How old does your boat have to be and what does it cost to keep it at the dock, etc? Wife's B-Day as well.

[gcarter]

I'd love to be part of it.

Apparently, the age restriction is being waived? That's good news.
I met Bert at the last show, and Woodie owners loved his 14.

[donzijim22]

Count me in.

Its a great show with not only woodies, but classic glass. There is something for everyone! That is how I met Bert last year. First boat on the dock was his Donzi Baby. I pull a boat down from Iowa every year for the river trip on the St. Johns preceding the show and then pull over from Sandford to Mt Dora. Fun time!

[Budmann]

We're in!

[FASTEDDIE]

Lady Augusta and Fasteddie from Lake George will be there. Hope to see some old friends. We are staying at the Hampton in at Tavares.Cell 518-744-4488.

OK, Talked to Terry Fiest about Donzi at the show. There are a few rules. If you have questions you can either contact me or Terry.
You have to be a member of ACBS Sunnyland chapter. You can do that if you are not a member already at
www.acbs-Sunnyland.org
I hope the next requirement doesn't offend any one. The Donzi has to be of the classic style. You know what classic style is. The 16, 18, 19 old school look. If you have a question send a picture to Terry. You can send it to me but it is not my call so don't get upset at me please.

sounds like somthing to put on any classic boater's calendar. Great event. Having a classic Donzi section at the docks is great news. For those that have not attended this show... it is great. Huge separate Boats for sale section, too, besides classics on land and in the water.

[BUIZILLA]

Bert... where does my 16 OB fit in the ELIGIBILITY chart, if it's a 1996?

also, there are a couple other 22's and maybe my just sold Criterion that want to attend dockside, but they are all built after 1976 as well...

thanx

[biggiefl]

I could bring my 1976 19' Boston Whaler Revenge...rare boat(4 sale).

[seabuddy]

Check with ASBC about a 1976.

[seabuddy]

ACBS rules say about years that are legal for judging. It is up to a given show what years are invited to display without judging.

I am going to this event. I need to fly down, so no boat. I would love a ride in a 14 and a 61 Donzi!
