There is no doubt that the upcoming season will once again be plagued with uncertainty, lots of conjecture and rumors. Even with all this to look forward to the series has published its 2017 schedule for what’s sure to be a season filled with ups and downs, late rule callings etc. all leading fans to ask what is the future of the series. It was recently announced that the Madison Regatta had fallen on hard times and would only be able to afford four H1 boats in 2017 with hopes of bringing a full field back in 2018. All this coupled with the announcement that The Spirit of Detroit Hydrofest was also looking for a new sponsor for the 2017 regatta. We hate to be alarmist but one has to wonder how much longer can the series continue on this path.
