Cowes Powerboat Classic 25th - 30th August 2010
Following previous years great success, the BPRC are pleased to announce that The Cowes Classic 2010 will include not only Marathon Boats but V24, Honda and Class 3 to join us in this great weekend of Powerboat Racing.

Cowes Torquay Cowes 2010 Course
The Cowes-Torquay-Cowes is an open event, organised in association with the British Powerboat Racing Club (BPRC) with around 80 craft expected to participate. The boats start and finish in Cowes and the front-runners are expected to complete the course in less than four hours - weather permitting. The Cowes-Torquay-Cowes was the very first offshore race in Europe and is recognised as one of the toughest challenges in world power boating, comparable with the Indy 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
