1996 | William A Moore

Although Bill raced in the Inboard category through the 1960s and early 1970s, he is best known for contributions to APBA in leadership and administrative skills locally, regionally and nationally.

Even after 40 years in the sport, his enthusiasm did not wane. Starting in 1954, Moore served as the Port Indian Regatta club president and race director for years, ensuring the success of the event. Serving under several Inboard VP's as a commissioner, he helped bring about positive changes for the category. He was an APBA Council member, Region 3 Chairman (for over 20 years), and Race Against Drugs committee chairman since its inception.

He also promoted the sport with media and fans. Moore officiated at regattas for over 15 years as a referee, chief scorer, and race announcer. The success of many events was due to his enthusiastic description of the racing action for the fans. In short, Moore has done it all.
