CLASS 1 OFFSHORE RACING
Offshore racing in the UK is a highly competitive and exciting sport that involves high-performance powerboats and attracts top teams and drivers from around the world. The sport is governed by two main organizations: the British Powerboat Racing Club (BPRC) and the UK Offshore Racing Association (UKOPRA).
The BPRC is responsible for organizing and promoting the races themselves, while the UKOPRA oversees the technical and safety aspects of offshore powerboat racing in the UK.
Class one vee powerboats are a popular type of powerboat used in offshore racing in the UK. These boats are designed for speed and maneuverability, and can reach speeds of up to 120 mph. They are typically piloted by a team consisting of a driver and a throttleman, who work together to control the boat’s speed and direction.
Offshore racing events in the UK featuring class one vee powerboats include the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes and Poole-Bournemouth-Poole races, as well as the Guernsey Gold Cup and the Falmouth Fowey race. These events are highly competitive and attract large crowds of fans and spectators.
Safety is a top priority in offshore racing with class one vee powerboats, and strict rules and regulations are in place to ensure the safety of the drivers, teams, and spectators. The boats are equipped with advanced safety features like roll cages, fire suppression systems, and emergency air supplies for the crew.
Experience the Thrill : Class 1 Vee Powerboat Racing
Dive into the adrenaline-fueled world of Class 1 Vee racing, where cutting-edge technology meets extreme speed. Governed by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the sport’s international authority, Class 1 Vee racing adheres to stringent rules and regulations, covering everything from boat design to team requirements.Constructed with precision and safety in mind, these boats boast specific hull designs, cockpit layouts, and engine specifications. Advanced materials like carbon fiber and Kevlar ensure both strength and minimal weight, allowing for optimal performance.
Behind the wheel, a skilled duo of driver and throttleman work in harmony to master the boat’s speed and direction. The driver focuses on steering, while the throttleman fine-tunes the boat’s power, adjusting the throttles accordingly.Racecourses, marked by buoys or other markers, challenge teams with multiple laps around 6-8 mile-long tracks. The length and difficulty of these courses can vary based on location and conditions, but one thing remains constant: sheer exhilaration.
Propelled by twin engines generating up to 1750 horsepower each, these powerboats can reach astonishing speeds of up to 120 mph. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and safety is paramount in Class 1 Vee racing. Advanced features like roll cages, fire suppression systems, and emergency air supplies keep the crew protected.Before joining the ranks of this high-octane sport, drivers and teams must undergo extensive training and certification. Only then can they experience the unbridled thrill of Class 1 Vee racing. Join the excitement, and witness powerboat racing at its finest.

Round the Island Race 2023 - Countdown to the race for all
The excitement is building for the iconic and much-loved Round the Island Race on Saturday 1st July 2023. It’s both a prestigious and a challenging race, and regularly attracts a diverse range of sailors from around the world – from professional racing teams, keen amateur racers and families ready for an enjoyable day out on the water.
All fleets follow the same 50 nautical miles course which circumnavigates the Isle of Wight in an anti-clockwise direction with the start and finish off Cowes. The Island Sailing Club (ISC), who have run the race for over 90 years, are delighted to announce that local resident, presenter and writer Alan Titchmarsh will be firing the cannons at The Royal Yacht Squadron to start the race at 08:00.
Alan said: “I’m delighted to have been asked to start one of the highlights in the Isle of Wight calendar. The Round the Island Race is very special and I wish every participant fair winds and a calm sea. Bon voyage!”
David Atkinson, Race Director said: “We are delighted to welcome such a hugely varied fleet this year, both returning and new competitors. It’s such a great opportunity for race crews to test their sailing skills, teamwork, and strategy as well as having a great day on the water. There’s going to be a real battle for line honours this year and we can’t wait to see who will lift the hugely coveted Gold Roman Bowl. Then there’s over one hundred other prizes on offer, not forgetting the many personal races happening between our competitors. The long-range forecast is looking favourable and we’re hoping everyone will enjoy this spectacular race.”
Behind the scenes the race relies on the well-practised Race Management Team at the ISC and the support and dedication of over 150 volunteers who play essential roles in ensuring the smooth operation of the event. It can be a long day for some of the volunteers, especially those stationed on the Finish Line committee boat. The team need to accurately record the sail number and time of every boat as they cross the finish line, and transmit this info to the results team based in Regatta House to enable an almost live feed of results online.
Follow the Round the Island Race 2023
To help you choose a great vantage point to watch the race in person take a look at the Spectator Guide on the event website. The most popular Island vantage points are in front of the Royal Yacht Squadron and Cowes Green; The Needles; St Catherine’s Point; Culver Down and Ryde Pier. The guide gives likely times the fleet will pass the different places during the 50 nautical mile course. Follow the social media channels and the live Race Blog on the event website which will provide a running commentary on the progress of the race – along with pictures and video clips – from the first start at 08:00 through to the finish. Meanwhile, the Race Viewer tracking system will be monitoring the position of all 1,100 boats taking part, so you can see exactly where your favourite boats are on the racetrack.
