The Buzz on Lake George recounts the early days of the Lake George Regatta Association (LGRA), which played host to annual races that attracted scores of competitors and hundreds of spectators. From wealthy gentlemen racers who thrilled the well-heeled crowds with their high-performance boats prior to the Depression, to the “everyman’” drivers who buzzed the lake in small stock utility outboards, these races attracted a colorful and boisterous collection of individuals from around the country. Many of those drivers share their memories here in this book. You’ll also read stories of famed boatbuilder Marcel Raveau; learn about the newly restored Gingerly , a Raveau boat that raced on Lake George in the 1950s and ’60s; and view about a hundred rarely seen photographs of the boats and drivers and regatta memorabilia. The Buzz on Lake George brings to life the early years of the powerful inboards, the heyday of stock utility racing, and the modern-day tale of preserving that history through the restoration of Gingerly .
