great white Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Dear Sirs I am writing to advise you that the British Powerboat Racing Club will, be running the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes and the Cowes-Poole-Cowes powerboat races on Sunday 29th August. We expect a total of 40 boats - some capable of speeds up to 85 knots - to enter these races. On race day, activity will start at approximately 09.15 hrs when the racing fleet will leave Cowes Yacht Haven, parade towards Gurnard and then east to muster off Old Castle Point. The Cowes-Torquay-Cowes race boats will then pass in convoy, at speed, between Snowden and Prince Consort buoys before starting the actual race as they cross the RYS line at 10:00. The procedure will then be repeated for the second race start at 10:15. After the start, the race boats will head West in the Solent and entre Christchurch Bay via the North Head channel between 10:05-10:45. Race boats are expected to return from Poole on a reciprocal course through the Western Solent between 11:45-13:00hrs. The finish for both races will be a line between the Gurnard cardinal buoy and a Committee Boat stationed 1 cable to the north of this buoy. Fast boats are expected to be in this area between 12:00hrs and 13:30hrs. Please find attached a ‘flyer’ which you might like to post on your notice board. If you foresee any conflict with your activities, or have any concerns regarding our proposed event, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
