Weekend Festival Partners

We'd like to recognize and thank the following organizations for their tremendous support of this Seafair Community Partner Event:

About:

Frank Hansen was a retired airline pilot, who served 16 years as a City of SeaTac Council Member, including three terms as Mayor. Frank was SeaTac's first mayor and is still considered by many to have been our best. As a longtime member of the Angle Lake Shore Club, Frank enthusiastically supported the club’s ongoing efforts of sustaining long held traditions on the lake and he frequently encouraging board members to consider bringing new events to the community. 

This encouragement motivated Shore Club Advisor, Steve Beck, to consider bringing hydroplane boats ‘back’ onto the lake after hearing the stories that Frank shared with him regarding races held here years ago. The annual outboard motorboat race regatta is named in honor of Frank Hansen and in recognition of the impact his legacy had on the community.

The Seattle Outboard Association was founded in 1929 to organize outboard hydroplane racing in the greater Seattle area. Seattle outboard association is an affiliate through APBA (American Powerboat Association). 

This organization is a proud boat racing club that started the careers of professional hydroplane drivers Chip Hanauer, JW Myers, Greg Hopp and the 2023 National Points Champion and Seafair Gold Cup Winner J Michael Kelly! 

This is your chance to view hydroplane race drivers of the future before they become stars!
