Hulls and Hops Lecture Series- History Fuels The Future - Jeff "Nemo" Buckley

Chairman of the APBA Vintage and Historic Division, Buckley emphasizes safety and the growth of vintage boat racing. With a background in aviation and a passion for boat racing, Buckley built his first boat at 14 and later competed in offshore powerboat races while balancing a military career. His interest in vintage racing began with Jersey Speed Skiffs before transitioning to hydroplanes, where he quickly realized the thrill and challenges of high-speed racing. After his military service, he fully immersed himself in vintage boats, restoring and racing them while building a community around the sport.
