**HELP** Please Help Us Locate Missing Trophies

[Ted Abel]

DEAR READER

THERE ARE A LOT OF MISSING TROPHIES THAT REFLECT THE HERITAGE OF STOCK OUTBOARD, MOD AND SPORTSCRAFT HISTORY INCLUDING INBOARD. ALL OF THESE WERE NATIONALLY PRESENTED BY THE "CANADIAN BOATING FEDERATION". WE STILL NEED THESE TROPHIES AND NEED TO GET THEM BACK INTO THE MAINSTREAM AS THEY WERE MEANT TO BE! THE HISTORY OF THESE TROPHIES AND REMBERING THE OLD WINNERS IS PRICELESS.
EVEN IF THESE TROPHIES ARE BROKEN, WE STILL WANT THEM BACK AND THEY WILL BE RESTORED!
HELP PLEASE!!!
Last Canadian Nationals were run in 2004 & 2007 In Long Sault (Cornwall, Ontario)

The first AU race I ever ran at Fishers Landing was the first race I won. You and Dick Summerfelt donated the trophies. Thanks Ted.

Good on you, Mate! What year do you suppose that was? 1960s sometime, early '70s? Too bad the Coast Guard police and the monster boat wakes from today's big fast boats don't ever permit that ol' race course again.

I'm at sdwhitford at cox dot net, John. Jingle me once in awhile. I don't do Hydroracer's PMs well. Gord McCrady & I remembered you fondly at the past 2 Crystal Lake regattas. You oughta drive westward this coming SEP & join all us ol' Farts! Some younger fan lined 4 of us OBRs (old boat racers) last year for a photo: Doug, Dave Curtis, Gord,, and me. Next SEP you can in the lineup and be the 5th!

1966 maybe.

Have you taken a look at ebay.com as there are old boat racing trophies on there all the time , just a thought.

Interesting perspective on age...the young fan that took your photo is 72 yrs old!
I guess racers are really aging.
