1976 – talks about Hydroplane racing at an Olympic event

The heck with rowing boats…..GPs…Now that would have been crew.

Olympiad GP-100 is a Jon Staudacher built hydro that is being restored by Harry Holst in Canada. We just posted a media sheet on her on the website in the boats section.

What’s also interesting is a newspaper article which is also posted on his webpage regarding talk of boat racing at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games.

Anybody remember?
