What is a hydroplane?
A hydroplane is essentially an airplane with the wings removed!
Add to that a top speed of up to 225 km/h, drifting, and extreme thrills. Without a doubt, the Valleyfield Regattas are a unique experience across North America. The event is a proud member of the Quebec International Major Events Network (RÉMI). Its reputation and success owe much to dedicated volunteers and loyal business partners. At the Valleyfield Regattas, passion is contagious, and the energy is legendary.
