N0 KIDDING All kidding aside: The Toronto International Boat Show is the biggest of its kind in Canada and one of the largest on the North American continent. It will even go over people. No kidding. It says right here: “Fully loaded with two men and gear it has the power to take 45-degree inclines without so much as a pant! Yet you could lie at man in front of a bazooo. it will step right over him and he‘ll walk away from the experience." So don’t believe me. That’s what the people say who make them. And they only cost around $1.600. So if you’re contemplating the easy way out don’t throw yourself in front of a bazooo. Now. don’t be a. Showoff. Get out from under that bazooo, George. Hey; George, George, Are you okay? By George! George! Ah. haah. There were even some snowmobiles on show which kind of set me back. But best of all there was a “Bazooo.” Honest, it’s a type of jeep which has three wheels aside, will go anywhere. Through woods, marsh, on water. or over rocks. All kidding aside. You’ve never seen such a bevy of sea-craft. Everywhere you looked, nothing but boats. A million and a half dollars worth of craft of all~kinds and boating hardware and accessories is on display now and will be until this Sunday. You'néme it. If you want a dinghny'a've a dinghy. Money? What’s $130 compared to $80,000 you‘ll have to pay in order to get a luxury motor cruiser. That sailor is Barbara Solomon, an honor student in grade 13, at R. H. King Collegiate, Scarboro, has been crewing on an Alberg 30, out of Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club, for the past three years. The 5’7” charmer enjoys studying and sees nothing unusual in taking up a. profession, almost exclusively a male one.’ ‘ And, oh. speaking of swinging-est. There she was. In all her glory. What! It’s a row-boat, it's a yacht! No, it‘s her. It says right here:‘ “A 17- yearâ€"old blue-eyed blonde sailor had been chosen Miss Boating ’70.” You just can't be humorous when you're talking aboutsome of the swinging-est vessels I, personally, have ever seen. The gentleman looked up at me, smiled, said: “Fine. It’s your for $650. We’ll even toss in the water free.” “What!”, I gasped. So there you have it. There I was drowning in a sea of big-and-little boats without a drop of water to be seen. - Which reminded me of a smart saying as I skipped amongst the vessels pausing here and there to scrape off a barnacle or two. BUT NO WATER “I’ve never seen so many boats without any water in my life.” I started to laugh, then stopped. It was all over. "That's my style," I said. “Paddling gives you good exercise. Who needs one of those big, cumber- some yachts? I’ll take that one.” boat. “Okay,” I said with an evil laugh as I pushed him off the ladder again. “I hope, this time, you break your fifth forefinger. He did which made me very happy. ‘fMake you a deal,” he cackled evilly. “Give me $17,000 and I’ll toss in the water for free." Such an evil laugh. tril, said: “No, $18,000. Ho, ho, ho. I like a guy with a sense of humor.” “So do I,” I said laughingly pretending I was only kidding. “You must be kidding”? $18,000. Why, It isn’t even in the water.” I. sang a sorlg and then he told me the price. Oh, well, it was a lousy song anyway. “I‘ll give it to you for, ah,” he shrugged his three good forefingers, “for 18.” He stepped back, fell from the laddeix and point- ed a broken forefinger at the gleaming yacht. He had fallen on his forefinger. “There.” he said, “It‘s yours for a song.” Smiling strongly, I asked weakly: “You mean, $1,800?” Not just any yacht. The one I wanted had to have class. “Class?” asked the gentleman who was polishing a nearby yaehl. _ “Got_ one fight he‘re.”_ _ fine, I went there to buy one. No specific price in mind, mind you. No specific boat, either. It was a toss-up between alacht anfi a rqwtbpat: ‘ VOL. 93, NO. 33. You can say what you want. But I‘ll bet that most of the people going to the 12th annual Toronto International Boat Show at the Automotive Building, Exhibition Park, this week will be just going to see the boats. 7 r Daily â€" Mon. to Fri. 8.00 to 4.00 pm.
