The Classic Raceboat Association (CRA) is a
Tavares, Florida based non-profit organization formed to organize, promote and run both fun-runs and vintage regattas on
our
Florida CRA Winter Vintage
Circuit.
These are vintage and classic race boats from the early 1900’s to the
1980’s. It is also interesting to note that many CRA members do not own
vintage race boats but join for the social activities, especially all
the fun at our regattas and our
Monthly Fun Run & Gathering.
All boat types are
welcomed, come join all the fun.
And joining the locals during
the winter months when the northern
based vintage events are in hibernation, the northern snow birds are increasingly hauling their
beautifully restored vintage and classic race boats down to Florida to
enjoy the sunny and warm Florida weather and to also participate on our
fast growing
Florida CRA Winter Vintage
Circuit.
With the flat
water on the small inland Florida lakes, these regattas
are attracting large boat counts with well over 75 vintage and classic race boats at the
last several events, along with huge crowds. The regatta participants have fun running
their restored vintage race boats at speed on a race course in the warm Florida sun and
the public gets a chance to see, hear and experience the rich history of powerboat
racing. The sights and sounds are just magnificent, come join us at our
next event !!!

The 2014 Winter Season !!!
Monthly fun runs, three vintage regattas,
one boat show.
It is
important to
remember
that these
vintage
events are
really
social
events, and
every event
is actually
a reunion
and
gathering of
good
friends,
with our
beautiful
vintage
boats in the
background,
pulling us
together.
All are
welcome to
come join
the fun,
with or
without a
boat.
We hope you
will
consider
joining us,
and please
be
considerate
and register
early. This
lets the
volunteer
organizers
know you are
planning to
attend,
enabling
them to
properly
plan for the
boat count
for the
regatta and
the head
count for
the socials.
Please be
considerate
and register
early !!!
