With fifty classic car and boat owners agreeing to participate in this past weekend’s Wheels and Keels show at the Moorning’s Club,  the Vero Beach Yacht Club’s Youth Sailing League will get a much needed boost in funds, said George O’Malley, one of the event’s organizers. 

Cloudy skies in the morning and a brieft rain shower at 11 a.m. threaten to dampen the event, but participants seems unwilling to be deterred.

One of the events most popular draws this year was POSH, as 52 foot mahogany commuter cruiser built in 1937.  The classic boat is owned by Todd Warner, of Mahogany Bay, a Minnesota company specializing in vintage motor boats.  Warner offered cruises on POSH Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Sunday morning’s cruisers were treated to “a three hour tour” motoring at speeds of up to 30 knots from the Moordings south to Harbor Branch, north the the Wabasso Bridge and then returning to the Moorings.  Warner will be motoring POSH to Jacksonville later this week, where the boat will then be trucked back to Wisconson.

Warner has been in Florida this winter for the boat show season.  POSH was featured in boat shows Key Largo, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. Mahogany Bay recently announced plans to build replicas of POSH.  To learn more about POSH visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7edEdblIsTc, or search POSH The Next Standard on You Tube, or contact Todd Warner at todd@mahoganybay.net.
