Classic Race Boat Association

Home of the Fun Team !!!

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 actually own vintage race boats but join for the social activities, especially all the fun at our regattas and our Monthly CRA Fun Run & Gathering - all boat types are welcomed.

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 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 beautifully 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 for our next event.
