Fall Festival of Yachting Busy and Fun!
(Above: Marc Hill's '68 Chris Craft Grand Prix has been showing her stuff at this year's shows. Following a meticulous, multi-year restoration, she's now giving Marc some love right back.

Jay Emerson brought out the breathtaking Alfa-Romeo powered Gentleman's racer, "Contessa" for the land display. She was joined on land by a Pachanga, a Century Sabre, a cedar strip canoe and a handbuilt sailing dinghy.

Charles Still Shares ACBS Show Experiences at September Meeting
Next WBA Monthly Meeting October 19, 2017. Don't Miss It!
Our meetings are a great opportunity to socialize with fellow WBA members and to talk shop on questions on everything from paint and varnish to carburetor kits. We'll feature a presentation of special interest to antique and classic boaters, of course. As always, we'll have generous helpings of fellowship and Italian food. Join us for a light meal and moderate libation at 5:30 p.m. at Two Guys from Italy prior to the meeting. We encourage you to join us for dinner, so we'll always have the required minimum number of diners to avoid a room charge. Shop Talk and Musings: Holidays Just Around the Corner The approach of the holiday season is an exciting time in the life of the WBA. First comes the WBA Christmas Party, slated this year for December 9 at the home of our president and first lady, David and Loretta Sheets. You should have received an evite to the event in your email already. If you're a new member, or did not receive an evite, please let David Sheets know. Then, on January 13, the WBA will hold its annual Officer Installation Banquet at the Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch (note: this is a new venue for us! Don't go to last year's venue, we won't be there!) A "save the date" email has been sent, and you should receive an evite soon. And finally, please take a look in the shed or garage for leftover parts or other salable items you can donate to the Club. Bring them to any WBA meeting, or contact David Kanally at david@historywithheart.com for pickup. |
