Rallies
A rally includes sanctioned hovercraft racing
consistent with the rules and regulations set forth in the
US Racing Program section of this website. A Rally may also
include cruising, model competition, technical conferences,
banquets and other events. The Hoverclub of America generally
hosts up to 3 rallies annually.

Hover-In's
A Hover-In is an informal gathering of hovercraft
enthusiasts. There may or may not be any planned activities
or meals. There may be courtesy safety inspections. Show up
and have fun with your hovercraft or, if you don't have a
craft just show up and learn about hovercraft in a casual
atmosphere. Operation at a Hover-In is based around a specific
location but a short cruise may be planned if the site permits.
Hovercraft operation is open to everybody, HCA membership
is encouraged.

Cruises
A Cruise is generally a sight-seeing ride on
a scenic river or waterway. Hovercrafters normally travel from
a put-in site to a planned point of interest, and then back
again. A long cruise could cover 100 miles in a single day,
but many will range of 40 to 60 miles (round trip). Be
aware that there may not be much for you to see or do if you
do not have a hovercraft.
