Lymington is therefore the preferred departure point.

Lymington, Yarmouth, Cowes, Hamble, Southampton and Portsmouth are well served by trains and ferries making overland connections for boarding and disembarking Salamander very easy.

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

The length and difficulty of these courses can vary based on location and conditions, but one thing remains constant: sheer exhilaration.

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.

Experience Kissimmee Backing Powerboat P1-Produced Cowes-Torquay-Cowes Endurance Race And More
Kissimmee is in Central Florida outside of Orlando, the bustling theme-park hub of the United States. The pastoral “gateway to the Isle of Wight,” Cowes is an island off the coast of England. One sees average high-temperatures during the summer in the low-to-mid 90s. The others sees average summer day-time highs in the low-to-high 60s. On the face of things, they have nothing in common—with one relevant exception

Both are venues involved with Powerboat P1—the United Kingdom-headquartered outfit produces the P1 AquaX National Championship for personal watercraft in Kissimmee and is a commercial consultant for the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes offshore powerboat endurance race.
And now they have something else in common. Experience Kissimmee will be the title presenting sponsor for the famed 219-mile Cowes event set for August 24-25 this year. With teammates Scott Younger, Rob Lockyer, American Alex Pratt competed in the open-ocean race.
“It was so amazing,” said Pratt, who will compete alongside dfyoung/ Good Boy Vodka teammate Rich Wyatt this season in the Class 1 ranks. “I’m going back to win with Rob this year.”
The tourism marketing entity’s sponsorship agreement also extends into the Powerboat P1-produced 2024 Union Internationale Motonautique Class 1 World Championship Series. The five-event series starts May 17-19 in Cocoa Beach, Fla., which is just 65 miles from Kissimmee.
“We are thrilled with the evolution of our partnership with Powerboat P1,” said DT Minich, the president and chief executive officer of Experience Kissimmee, in a Powerboat P1 press release issued this morning. “What began as a single event collaboration in Lake Toho, Kissimmee, has blossomed into a global activation, showcasing the strong bond and confidence we share with P1.”

Added Powerboat P1 chief executive officer Azam Rangoonwala, “With our U.S. headquarters being less than 40 miles from Kissimmee, we have enjoyed a close relationship over the last eight years. We know that Experience Kissimmee is always seeking new and innovative marketing opportunities to reach its key markets and spread the word about the destination.”
