Vintage and Historic Member Survey Results

By: John Woodward | V&H Communications | May 26, 2021

Hello boat racing fans. Are we ready to get back on the water? I know I am. In April, I released a survey to the current and previous members of the APBA Vintage & Historic Division asking about where they get their information pertaining to the vintage race boats, schedules, event sanction information, etc. The invitation to participate in the survey went out to a total of 773 email addresses. We heard back from 102 people (13%). Our goal now within the V&H division is to implement some of the feedback we have received in hopes of better serving our past and present members, and hopefully future members as well. The Vintage & Historic Division still continues to be one of the faster growing categories in the APBA. If you are interested in the old-school, round-nosed conventional hydroplanes or maybe the wider, pickle-forked cabover-hydroplanes or even a flatbottom, you are in luck because the V&H Division has it all. NEWS FLASH! A good percentage of you want to be boat racers and didn’t even know it … until just now! Get involved, have fun and most of all enjoy the family atmosphere that comes with being part of the Vintage & Historic Division.

Thank you very much. Hope to see you at a race site soon.

John Woodward – V&H Communications and Marketing Representative.
