WELCOME

Greetings, we are pleased that you have found us but we must express to you that this Website is NOT The Official Website of the New Zealand Powerboat Association but is a Website to show some of the History that has occurred from 1905 when the first New Zealand Power Boat Association was formed through to this current day.

If you want to see the day to day running of the NZPBA and other important matter, you need to go to this website http://www.nzpba.com

We have taken every possible means of checking and double checking the information on this website before we published it, but please accept our apologies if you have came across any information that appears not to be correct. If you have picked up a correction that needs to be rectified please don’t hesitate in contacting us and pointing out the mistake(s) and if possible, produce something that we can cross reference the mistake.

We are always on the lookout for more memorabilia from over the years which is helpful to us in building up the history of NZ Speedboat Racing.

If you have access to photos, scrapbooks, race programmes, newspaper cuttings, movie films, videos etc that we could borrow so that we can have these items digitised, it would be very much appreciated. We will return the originals to you, though if you no longer wish to keep them we can also store the archive materials. (Check Contacts for delivery details)
