Cruise on a Classic Gar Woods Boat for 4

Mr. Garfield (Gar) Wood was a self trained engineer, inventor and savvy businessman.  He invented the first hydraulic hoist for dump trucks, pyramiding its success into a multi-millionaire fortune by age 40.  He coupled innovative hull designs with brute power in search of speed. Today Gar Wood boats are among the most sought-after classic boats in the world!

Here is your chance to take three other lucky folks to cruise on Lake Tahoe in a classic Gar Wood! 

Dress in your best yachting outfit for a special day on the lake. Your party of four will meet owner/captain Terry Clapham at Stillwater Cove in Crystal Bay, Nevada where you will board the skipper’s immaculate 1940 Gar Wood Custom Utility. “Leading Lady” is in first-class condition and is powered by a pair of Chrysler Crown M47 6-cylinder engines. She is the winner of numerous awards and is featured on the cover of the Gar Wood coffee table book. While cruising the lake, you can lounge under “Leading Lady’s” bimini cover for shade and savor a picnic lunch with wine provided by Sierra State Parks Foundation. Keep the picnic basket and State Parks etched wine glasses for future picnics. By reservation. Enjoy this experience during the 2025 boating season.

The winner will be responsible for picking up the prize at The Foundation's office in Tahoe City or coordinating with The Foundation to arrange for shipping at cost.
