HIH Recap-
Great Weekend at HIH 2020!! Thank you everyone for coming. We had a few curve balls that messed up our itinerary Saturday. I want to apologize, It was out of my control...
Photos- We got some great shots going up the gorge although the first wave of boats got to us at the sandbar before we were ready. I guess I need a faster boat!! We are in the process of editing all the photos and I will be sending out a link to all the registrants to tell me which boat is yours. I will then send you the high resolution file for you to print in whichever size you want. Probably looking at a week or two to get the High Res photos..
T-shirts- We sold out of all our inventory over the weekend. If you ordered shirts during registration, we set those aside and will mail them out over the next two weeks. I will most likely do another run, this is not confirmed, I have to meet a certain number of orders to make it make sense. I'll let you know...
Raffle- I will be sending you an email if you won the raffle prizes sometime this week. I could not figure out an easy way to do it on saturday(and I was late back to the Nautical, I posted 3pm and it should have been 5pm OOPS, BRIE WANTED TO KILL ME, my mom stepped up and helped out with the bags, I owe her BIG TIME!).![[emoji2369]](/forums/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fimages%2Femoji.php%2Fv9%2Fte5%2F1%2F16%2F1f937_200d_2642.png&hash=4f057ba77c703762926fc4f19bad7ab8 "[emoji2369]")
Registration Bags not Picked up- We have roughly 25 bags that weren't picked up, if you live in So Cal I will find a time and place to meet everyone if it makes sense logistically for us all. If not, we will have to charge you for shipping.
I want to thank all of our sponsors for continued support of Halletts in Havasu. I couldn't do this without you!!
This was the 5th year we have put this on.. The 1st year we had like 25-30 boats(maybe less?).... Year two was around 50... year three was 75 and last year we had 125 boats.... This year we had 91 registrants!! I was really surprised considering COVID and all of the other BS going on... We couldn't make a Banquet happen for obvious reasons unfortunately(my favorite part).
If you made the run up to Pirates they pulled out all the stops and reserved the docks and beach cove for us(thanks Art)!! Most of the bar was open for food, Im glad we were able to bring business to them, the current climate has been tough on the local business' in Havasu..
HIH 2021- It will be happening!!!! Give us a few months to decompress and see how the rest of 2020 -pays out....
Finally I want to personally thank all of you for making this event what it is...A great family friendly event that has a passion for
Hallett Boats
! Brie and I really appreciate all the thanks and kind words we received over the weekend. It really means a lot to us...
To my wife-
Brie Grimes
I had this hair brained idea 5 years ago and you wouldn't let me do it alone, you know, because I'm so organized and all... You have balanced being pregnant, a teacher, being a mom to Logan and Reese and now Grant every year of HIH . I don't know why you put up with me or do the late nights of organizing Halletts , but you do... Every year we get in arguments because I have more crazy ideas that cause it to be more work for you... I love you for everything you do for us at home and for HIH.. I couldn't do it without you(even though I say I could...LOL) I know I don't show or tell you enough, but I want you to know how much I love you and thank you for all the effort you put into HIH it each and every year. It really means a lot to me.
Thanks everyone for a great time! See you on the water!!

Looks like a 250.
34? didn't know they built a 32
Same with the 240 . Should have never destroyed the mold . I don’t know why they do that . A lot of money goes into these molds .
True same bottom just like the old school top portion. I don’t like the rounded windshields. I like the old ones better. Jmo . Looks of a bigger 210 . That’s the old school in me lol . I would love to see Hallett do a 24’ vector style.
