Vintage Race Boats Canada Rooster “Tales” FALL 2016 Vol: 3 Issue: 1 Well it’s been a few years since the last so here we go… with the latest attempt at a newsletter, Rooster “Tales”. Why do this? Maybe I’m old school and enjoy actually taking time to sit and read and we all know there is not a lot of content related to vintage race boats, so maybe this can be my little contribution. Let’s see if we can get closer to spring with a few stories, photos, reminders and before you know it we’ll be back on the water again.

Well it’s been a few years since the last so here we go… with the latest
attempt at a newsletter, Rooster “Tales”. Why do this? Maybe I’m old school and enjoy
actually taking time to sit and read and we all know there is not a lot of content related to
vintage race boats, so maybe this can be my little contribution. Let’s see if we can get
closer to spring with a few stories, photos, reminders and before you know it we’ll be
back on the water again.

Looking forward to having Kathy & Harry join us back in the pits and on the water soon!
Clayton – 2016 Pits & Tom Morsheimer in the Tool Crib Special
We really missed having Bill Morsheimer in the pits with us this
summer. His legacy and the work he did for many years to track down
and save racing history will live on for generations.
For that Bill, we thank you.

CBF News
CBF Annual Convention: The date for the annual convention is set for December 3rd, in
Brockville Ontario at the new Aquarium which is a nice venue. A few positions are open
on the board and they are looking for nominations including the REP CLUBS &
VINTAGE which is very relevant to our group. Any volunteers? Many thanks to Scott
Cameron for his efforts on behalf of Vintage over the last two years and of course for all
the work he and the crew do to pull together Rideau Ferry every second year. More
details to follow regarding the CBF meeting as they become available.
Vintage Membership: Please note that membership forms will be available on the
official web-site of the Canadian Boating Federation for both owner/drivers in addition to
crew members for the 2017 season shortly. While membership has stagnated over the
past couple of seasons I believe with the number of projects coming along we should see
another boost in membership in the coming seasons. It’s important to note that the CBF
offers a cross-over membership for APBA members at a significant discount and then
when you add in the exchange rate it is almost free!! LOL Simply check the box beside
this rate as an APBA member. While it is not a necessity to be a CBF member while
being a current ABPA member, the support is certainly welcome.
HYDROPLANE HISTORY– ONLINE
Thank you to Dave Richardson for sharing a number of DVDs with some really great
content including home video footage of the inaugural Antique Race Boat Regatta in
1992. I’ve been digitizing these videos and putting them on YOUTUBE so that they can
be shared with all racing fans out there on the internet. Personal favourites are the 1974
and 1975 Governor General’s Cup from Ottawa offering up TV quality footage with
some of the great hulls and drivers of the past. Merci Dave! You can check out the page
