The past comes alive as some of the best known race boats of bygone eras return to Clayton, New York, for our ninth Antique Race Boat Regatta. Clayton is the birthplace of our APBA Vintage & Historic Division, holding our first antique boat regatta in 1992, and Clayton continues to be the biggest event on the APBA Vintage Race Boat Circuit.  This summer's regatta expands to 4 full days and with addition docking, well over 150 vintage race boats are expected, and will be running demonstration laps on a course, setup in front of the Museum. So if you wanna see lots of vintage race boats running at speed, you just gotta come to Clayton 2008 !!!

 

In addition to seeing and hearing these unique and beautiful boats run, spectators are invited to view them close-up in the pit area, at the Museum Docks.

 

If you're in the sport, want to be in the sport, or just appreciate vintage race boats then Clayton is "THE PLACE" to be. This is a huge event with lots of action and varied activities.  If you are interested in participating in our Clayton Antique Race Boat Regatta, here are two things you must do.

1. Be a member of our APBA Vintage and Historic Division, and follow all rules and safety requirements.  Please prepare your equipment and safety gear for a thorough safety inspection and lots of water time on our course.
