Reunions : 2009 CorrectCraftFan.com Northeast Reunion

With over 30 boats and more than 150 people in attendance, this was a very successful return to Lake George, NY for the fourth annual Northeast Reunion. The highlight of the weekend was the guest of honor, Ralph Meloon Sr., and a close second was the revealing of the new 2010 Ski Nautique 200 - one of the first to roll off the production line!

The slide show below is a recap of the events which took place over three days this September in Lake George, NY. The festivities started at the Friday night boat show where we revealed the new 200. Then an early morning ski behind the 200 before we attended 'Breakfast with Ralph'. We then hit the water with a wakeboard demo from pro-rider Adam Wensink and then off to Log Bay before heading back to the village for the Saturday night banquet. Back on the water early on Sunday before heading out for the weekend.

A CCF Poem — by Blake Kudzal (son of Harddock), age 8. As read to everyone at the Saturday Night Banquet:

      One day a man named Keith with a computer had a plan
      To have a site designed for a true Correct Craft fan

      Where any fan is encouraged to join them
      With access to reference, sales, parts and a forum

      Discuss stuff about boats, life, or where to ski
      You can share your pictures and story on CCF's diary

      Having reunions for fans to gather and show
      Beautiful Correct Craft boats designed to tow

      You can find a boat to buy, rebuild, or just tune
      Even get a chance to meet Mr. Ralph Meloon

      Members from all over the world become friends like a family of brothers and come here to roam
      Thanks Keith for CorrectCraftFan, a site better than all the others, the one we call home

A very special thank you to our event sponsors – who you'll find listed below the slide show photos.
