The Museum of Sport and Tourism proudly presents 'The Extraordinary Boat of the Marszałek Family at MSiT', showcasing a remarkable racing powerboat with deep historical significance. This unique, Polish-made vessel was instrumental in the success of the Marszałek family, with Waldemar Marszałek, his son Bernard, and younger son Bartłomiej all achieving world championship titles between 1996 and 2006 while competing in this very boat. Developed by the six-time motorboat world champion Waldemar Marszałek himself, in collaboration with boat builder Rajnold Klotz, the boat represents the culmination of extensive racing knowledge and experience. Constructed in 1995, this last iteration of Marszałek's powerboats in the 0-350 class featured a 130-horsepower engine, weighed 130 kg, and could reach speeds of up to 180 km/h, built from carefully fitted light wood and 3mm plywood. Waldemar Marszałek describes the boat not just as a museum exhibit but as a tangible piece of his history, emotions, passion, and work, emphasizing the family's collective decision to share it with museum visitors. Tomasz Jagodziński, Director of the Museum of Sport and Tourism, highlights the boat's global uniqueness and its status as a standout attraction, noting that achieving similar family success with the same equipment in modern professional sports is virtually impossible. The museum is thrilled to house this unparalleled artifact, representing a rare confluence of family dedication, engineering ingenuity, and peak athletic achievement in the sport of motorboat racing.
