2020 Sunnyland Antique and Classic Boat Festival Registration Instructions – Please Read!
This year our City of Tavares partners have agreed to provide a significant number of docks for water display, however, space will be limited. We do have more than ample space for land display. We encourage those of you bringing smaller boats in particular to consider land display this year. As a “thank you” for bringing your boat to our show and displaying on land, we are providing each land display captain with one free ticket to the Friday picnic. In the event that the number of registrants requesting water display exceeds our dock capacity, the boat show committee will determine which boats will be displayed in the water based on providing the best overall experience to all participants, members and the viewing public.
So come on down to sun-filled Florida and join your fellow antique and classic boating friends for a wonderful weekend of fun. We guarantee it! Here’s how to register:
We suggest printing a copy of these instructions so you will have them handy to fill in the required fields on the registration form. Once you have read through the instructions, click on the button at the end to go to the online registration form.

COMPLETING THE ONLINE REGISTRATION FORM
In addition to asking for your name, the form will allow you to choose show options. As soon as you select an option, the dollar amount field for that option and the total due field will immediately update. For example, if you want three picnic tickets click on the drop down arrow in the small box next to the box marked “Number Attending Picnic”, then click on the number 3. REMEMBER, LAND DISPLAY GETS ONE FREE TICKET AUTOMATICALLY, SO IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN LAND DISPLAY ENTER ONLY THE ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF TICKETS YOU WANT. You will see the Picnic Fees box on the far right side of the page immediately record the total. If you make a mistake, simply change the value in the drop down box and the total amount due will be recalculated. The sign-up events and prices are:
Thursday Evening City Reception $10
Friday Picnic $16
Friday Evening captain’s Party $25
Saturday Fashion Show $30 incl. lunch
Saturday Night Banquet $40
To conserve screen space, we have placed the forms for entering boat information, additional crew and vendor information in collapsible panels at the bottom of the form. This is where you will enter the information about your boat(s) to be displayed, any additional crew beyond yourself and your 1st Mate, as well as Vendor information.
Click on the appropriate panel and a button will pop up. Click on that button to enter your information. Once you have entered the information you can either exit that information section, or click on the button again to add another crew member or boat. You can add as many crew or boats as you wish and the form will automatically calculate your costs.
For example, if you wish to have a boat display, open the panel for BOAT INFORMATION first. Then click the Add Boat button. That will generate a complete entry form for a boat display. Once you have completed entering the data for the first boat, you can click the “add boat” button again to enter data for a second boat. In this manner, you can add as many boats for sale or land display as you wish. If after you have added a boat you decide not to register it, click on “remove” to eliminate it.
Now you should have all the info necessary to register for our show. Feel free to make as many changes to your input as you need. Nothing is recorded until you submit your form.
Before submitting, review your entries to make certain everything is correct. Be sure you have checked the waiver acceptance box.
