Brockville’s history is steeped in the tradition of boat racing. From the famous Gilbert Boats of Brockville circa 1890s – 1920’s, to the slick speed of Henderson Hydroplanes of our current times. The   St. Lawrence River has been home to speed and tradition.

Brockville Hydroplane Racing Inc. is bringing some of that tradition back and adding to the history. On June 6th-7th, 2009, the Brockville City Waterfront will be home to some of the fastest boats in the world and we would like to give you and your family the opportunity to be a part of the action!

The waterfront will be alive with the sounds of race boats, live music and entertainment. This venue will witness the excitement of the MOD U through to the hair-raising speed of the ‘Grand Prix’ boats which reach speeds of 170 miles per hour. Racers will be travelling from across North America. We also anticipate some competitors from as far away as Australia.
