The Vintage Hydroplanes
This web site is devoted to limited-class, antique, vintage & historic hydroplanes and race boats. 
Our website has many pages filled with photographs & vintage boat racing stories. We are much more than just hydroplanes. All vintage race boat owners & fans are encouraged to participate on this website and our sport. The site navigation is full of history. Be prepared to travel back with us in time.
  • boats - filled with lots of photos on these racing hulls as they appeared years ago & today. Detailed restoration work from the boat owners as they bring these beautiful vintage race boats back to life. We even feature model vintage raceboats.
