international major event held in Austria was the European

Vienna (winner R. Koch, Austria). In the 1960s the most successful 
Austrian motorboat sportsmen were D.  Quester and D. Schulze, in the 
1970s E. Zimmermann, later W. Weiland. Austrians who took part in many 
World and European motorboat championships have achieved considerable 
success and also established numerous world speed records. In 1994 the 
MSVOe had 73 clubs with 3,200 members.
