A Legacy of Excellence in Powerboat Racing
The F3000 class of powerboat racing, which the club specialises in, is known for its fast and powerful boats. The F3000 Outboard Performance Class (OPC) powerboats are single-seater catamarans, capable of reaching speeds over 160 kph with the ability to turn hard and fast in a single hard pin corner pulling in an excess of 3Gs.
​
Races often take place in challenging water conditions, making the sport both thrilling for spectators and demanding for participants. An F3000 powerboat running at maximum speed on the ragged edge is truly an amazing sight of agility, power and balance. Races are typically run in a closed circuit of twenty laps covering a distance of 25km.
