The PEUGEOT is a vintage hydroplane
owned by Herve Fressard.
This hydroplane is the only one known in France to this day and is the
only 100% French vintage hydro still working. This hydro is a 250 kg category,
from about 1953. The 1300cc engine is from the 203 Peugeot model from 1950.
The hull is probably a Ventnor copy or has been inspired from a Ventnor
design. The top speed is about 65 mph. We have a club in France for vintage
racing boats. They are from Italy for the most part. There is about 15
3-point hydros.
