 Striving to document the history of powerboat racing. Preservation & restoration of race boats. Promoting our vintage race boat regattas. |
| In
1994 Tom D'Eath was
asked
to head
up the new Vintage & Historic Division of the American
Power
Boat Association. This newly formed division set course on building
a class within the organization to help preserve the rich racing
heritage
of the APBA. Old racers came out of retirement
to lend a hand.
Restorations
with old racing hulls were becoming popular and the division
started
to grow. With just a handful of members this dedicated group
of
determined
individuals started with just an idea. Today, the Vintage & Historic division continues to be the growing category in the APBA. Please consider becoming a member of the APBA Vintage & Historic Division and supporting the history. |
