NFACBS Returns to The Buffalo Launch Club, Grand Island NY for their 40th show!
As many shows have a “static nature”, this show looks to be “user friendly”, not just “dunk-in and tie up!” The Race Boats that were part of the event have moved to their own venue with “Thunder at The Outer Harbor summer event”. This frees up the waterway for boats to come and go as they please, taking people on rides to really enjoy the hobby! Of course, over 100 classic and antique automobiles will be there along with Fiberglassics and Go-Fast boats. There will be increased areas for static land displays and the nautical Flea Market. The DART BOAT CLUB of Ohio will be the featured boats for the show and a good number of Chris Craft Silverton Cruisers are expected.

I am a life-long resident of Michigan, and I have lived in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe Woods for the last 38 years with my wife, Marie.
My interest in unlimited hydroplane racing goes back to my childhood when I attended the races in Detroit with my father. The first Gold Cup Race that I attended was in 1956, and I have attended every race in Detroit since. I also have an extensive collection of photographs, score sheets, and hydroplane racing articles. In addition, I recently submitted an article about the Gold Cup Races to Michigan History magazine, which was published in their May/June 2017 issue.
I am also an antique motorboat enthusiast and own a 1940 Chris Craft Utility, which I have had since the 1970s.

Tom Koroknay, Lyman Boat Restorer, Historian, and Author
A native Ohioan and third generation woodworker, Tom Koroknay has gained a worldwide reputation as the preeminent Lyman Boat subject matter expert, earning him the moniker “Doc Lyman.”  Tom authored the book Lyman Boats: Legend of the Lakes detailing the company’s iconic 98 years of wooden boat building history and has owned and operated his renowned Lyman Boat restoration business for 35+ years.  He is also a founding member of the original Lyman Owners Association. 
In a once in a lifetime opportunity in 1988, Tom purchased all the remaining Lyman Boat Works archives and factory tooling pertaining to the company’s wooden boat production line to supplement his already flourishing Lyman Boat restoration business.  He later acquired the intellectual property rights to the famous Lyman trademark. 
Over the past 25 years, Tom has provided Lyman Boat historical exhibits and technical information for the National Museum of the Great Lakes, Toledo, Ohio, The Maritime Museum of Sandusky, Sandusky, Ohio, the Antique Boat Museum, Clayton, New York, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, St. Michaels, Maryland, and the renowned Mariner’s Museum, Newport News, Virginia.
