Introducing the 2011 APBA Gold Cup Detroit USA Hydroplane Motorboat Racing T-Shirt, a unique piece of memorabilia that captures a historic moment in hydroplane racing. This men’s medium-sized, black t-shirt features a large front graphic print, encapsulating the thrill and excitement of the 2011 APBA Gold Cup. The print is surrounded by the text “2011 APBA Gold Cup Presented by DYC Detroit Michigan”, a tribute to the event’s prestigious history and the Detroit Yacht Club’s role in it.

The 2011 Detroit APBA Gold Cup, a Detroit tradition for 95 years, was a spectacle of speed and skill, with hydroplanes reaching speeds up to 200 mph. This event saw Dave Villwock make history by becoming the Air National Guard Hydroplane Series’ all-time winningest driver with a victory at the Gold Cup, surpassing the legendary Bill Muncey’s record of 62 career race victories.

Hydroplanes, also known as hydros or thunderboats, are fast motorboats designed to use the water they’re on for lift and propulsion, rather than relying on buoyancy. They are used in various racing classes and have set world water speed records, making them a spectacular sight as they dance over the waves.

The t-shirt measurements are pit to pit 52 cm, collar to hem 64 cm. It is in great used condition with no pulls, stains, or tears, showing only normal wear through use. As a top-rated Australian seller, I offer combined postage on multiple purchases. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of hydroplane racing history!
