Sanctioned by APBA Vintage & Historic Division

August 11-15, 2010
Back in the early ‘90’s some nostalgia buffs with old race boats were musing about the success of the Antique Boat Show at the Clayton Antique Boat Museum. The idea to hold a similar event with vintage race boats was tossed out and caught hold. Bill Munro chaired a large group of committed enthusiasts who hosted the first ever Vintage Race Boat Regatta in August of 1992. Eighteen years of this biennial event have brought together some of the greatest names in racing and likewise many of the most famous boats of all time. Such greats as Riggs Smith, Bob Schroeder, Fred Alter and Buddy Byers were on the original organizing committee. Many others were in critical positions making it all happen. Over the years the Vintage Race Boat Regatta has given owners, drivers, historians and public an opportunity to see the greatest boats of all time performing in the water with dramatic rooster tails and the roar of powerful engines.
This summer will be the 10th Anniversary of Race Boat Regatta at Clayton. We hope many of the boats that attended the very first regatta as well as those that came out of barns and storage sheds over the years will be with us doing vintage fly-bys on the museum waterfront. Vintage race boats have come of age and our opportunity to demonstrate them in their natural environment has caught the public attention. Just think vintage all started in Clayton in 1992 and has grown to where in 2009 there were 27 sanctions approved for vintage events.
Some owners and boats have not missed a Clayton regatta in all those years. Curt Brayer, David Coffin, Bob Cox, Bill Fisk, Bill John, Peter Kreissle, Geoff Magnuson, and Mark Mason to name a few, haven’t missed a chance to run at Clayton. We hope that they and everyone else will join us again at Clayton, the first and still the largest event on the vintage race boat circuit, this is a huge gathering !!!
Between now and August 2010 a large group of volunteers are working diligently to make this the biggest and best event in our long history. Please mark your calendars for August 12–15 and please register early, to help us plan the heat schedules and logistics.
