CRA Promotional Video
 The Classic Raceboat Association (CRA) is a
Florida based organization that was formed to facilitate the exhibition
of classic race boats of all types from the early
1900’s to the 1980’s. All classic race boats are welcomed, and during
the winter months when the APBA summer vintage circuit
is in hibernation, we haul down to sunny and warm Florida to participate in a growing CRA winter vintage
circuit. Because of the sunny and warm Florida weather and the flat
water on the small inland Florida lakes, these regattas
attract large boat counts with well over 75 classic race boats at the
last several events. We do have fun running our vintage
and classic race boats in the warm
Florida sun, and through these CRA sanctioned regattas we also run safely and the public gets a chance to see the rich history of powerboat
racing on the growing CRA Winter Vintage Circuit.
