    Daytona Harley Davidson and Donzi Marine Form Strategic Alliance With APBA Offshore.
    Sarasota, FL March 2003 – Donzi Marine, the official sponsor of the 2003 APBA Offshore Factory 2 Series, and Daytona Harley-Davidson have formed a strategic alliance with APBA Offshore for the 2003 race season. For the second consecutive year, a Donzi 38 ZR, featuring the Daytona Harley-Davidson moniker proudly across its hull, will serve as the Official Pace Boat at every APBA race on the GMC Pro Grade Championship Series. When not leading the pack at the races, the Harley/Donzi boat will do double duty making its way to boat shows, APBA events, Daytona Harley-Davidson events, as well as entertaining celebrities and friends of the press. According to Bruce Rossmeyer, owner of Daytona Harley-Davidson and proud owner of the new 38 ZR, “We were thrilled with the performance aspects of last year’s boat and the crowd really enjoyed the promotional aspects that Donzi brought to the race. In fact, APBA race aficionados could relate to both our bikes and Donzi boats, and of course, APBA Offshore’s GMC Pro Grade Championship Series Stage, makes our relationship a natural fit.”

The monthly meetings are a popular event which includes a social hour at 6:00 p.m. followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m. and the program at 8:00 p.m. The programs are selected to be informative and interesting for powerboaters. The monthly meetings are a great way to meet fellow powerboaters. Cruising events are a big part of our Powerboat Committee. Committee volunteers contribute time each year to make sure that these events are planned and organized to be great fun for all. Powerboat events include the chili cook-off, garlic festival, golf cruises, powerboat rendezvous, gourmet dinner cruise, and the annual fishing derby. Plan on attending these popular events and participate in making them great fun for everyone. If you would like to volunteer your time to help with an event, please call the club Front Desk. In addition to the cruising events and activities, the Log Race Sub-committee is active throughout the year with predicted log racing and the annual log racing classes. The classes are a great way to improve your navigation skills and provide a great introduction to predicted log racing. If you haven't gone through the program, you should check it out.

    American Power Boat Association World Championships in St. Petersburg
    [Times photo 1999 ] By TERRY TOMALIN, Times Outdoors Writer Hundreds of the nation's top offshore racers will put their skills to the test on the fickle waters of Tampa Bay when the American Power Boat Association World Championships return to St. Petersburg Nov. 13-19. The event, which features 11 classes of boats racing at speeds in excess of 100 mph, draws competitors from as far away as Europe. The sport traces its roots to a rather leisurely 22-mile, one-hour jaunt across the English Channel from Calais, France, to Dover, England, on Aug. 8, 1904, with the winning boat powered by a single 80 horsepower Daimler engine. The Europeans used the sport as a way to test auto engines, but the Americans took it to a new level with the Catalina Challenge Cup in 1911 and with colorful "sea wars" off Florida's East Coast and the Bahamas.

    Actually, this is a chronology of past boats and experiences as well as an introduction to my new boat.
    "Selene", Crealock 31
    Somewhere in the Pacific, 1988
    I started sailing in 1987, when I bought a 31-foot Crealock "Mariah," with the intention to learn how to sail it and then sail it solo around the world. But, unlike 99% of those who plan a sail around the world, I actually did it. I sailed my little boat for four years through the tropics, completing a solo circumnavigation and having all kinds of wild adventures.

    Unlimited boat and aircraft racing compliment each other; this could draw very large crowds! AIR RACING
    1) Integrate turbines into existing unlimited class.
    a) Horsepower Vs weight formula using Rare Bear as baseline. 4500 hp / 10,800 lb. e.g. 2/hp - I lb. / I 34/hp per lb.
    b. Define the physical profile using the smallest existing competitive racer as the baseline. No more Pond Racers. Use racers that can be seen.
    c) Define all race courses to favor existing unlimited racers.
    REASONS FOR GOING TURBINE POWERED AIRCRAFT
    1) Reliability. The ability to stage multiple events, even weekly events in the summer season.
    2) Use Unlimited Hydroplane racing as a model, e.g. with piston power, 5 events per season, with turbine power 12 to 15 events per season. Quite often with piston power, only 2 out of 5 hydroplanes finish an event. With turbine power you should have at least 4 out of 5 finishing, thus giving you greater parity.
    3) Multiple events would result in more television coverage and the ability for teams to acquire major sponsorship, thus offsetting costs.
    4) Worldwide availability of turbine power. Older turbines at comparable horsepower to the existing piston horsepower of the unlimited category can be purchased at a fraction of the cost. These turbines are available from military, civilian, and salvage, as well as from Russian and Chinese sources.
