Our Website is up with pictures of the Heritage Port where we will run, and also has links to hotels in the Wheeling area. The link to the "official" page is: www.WheelingVintageRegatta.com

A note to all participants !!!
For insurance and safety reasons, to run your vintage race boat at speed on the course, you must be a current APBA member (American Power Boat Association) and your vintage boat must qualify and pass our APBA Safety Inspection. If you do not pass Safety Inspection, you will stay on the trailer. Safety is the #1 priority of this event.
If you are interested in joining the fun, or just curious, here are some Websites with more information - to get you deeper involved.
