1. Ready To Race RTR
	This class is our beginner’s class and a fun way of getting into RC boating. At present only 2 boats the Proboat Shockwave 36 and Thundercat 31 boats are homologated and available from your local hobby shop. But as the name says it is open to any other over the counter boat that would like to race in this class. Bring what you’ve got and we will help you to enjoy what you have purchased. Just remember the engine class may not be bigger than .32ci.   More precise rules for this class can be viewed in our racing rules.

2. Offshore Sport This is the step up from RTR. In this class the maximum engine size is .32ci but any motor and any hull is permissible (Cats and V-Hulls). This class also allows RTR racers to 'step up' by using higher performance race engines and aftermarket parts.   Typical motors include Go, CMB NovaRossi, Rossi, OS to name just a few.          3. Tunnel Hull F1-style
	These boats must resemble a scaled version of a real Formula 1 GP boat. Utilizing a motor on a drive-leg setup as per normal outboards.  Hulls sizes are depended on the class that’s raced but can be anything from 29inch to 54 inch. The classes running are 3.5cc nitro, 7.5cc nitro and 26cc Gas.   Watching these boats ride on a cushion of air and drifting round some marker buoys can take ones breath away

4. Gas Offshore

The name says it all. Offshore style boats in essence scaled versions of the UIM P1 Unlimited class with 26cc petrol engines capable of speeds in excess of 70kph, some reaching 100kph. These boats are big fast and spectacular. Racing on the coarse mere centimeters from each other takes precise movements and quick reactions.   Motor size is from 23cc to 35cc, but the most common is the 26cc motors making anything from 3.5 to 5.5 hp at 18500RPM.

 

5. Out Riggers
	These very exciting boats are in a class of its own. Most of them build by hand and reaching speeds in the 80 mh/h makes them lighting fast. These are most definately not for the beginner ! Visit us on one of our race days to see these amazing speed demons in action.   Motor sizes are from 3.5 cc to 23cc and 35cc, but the most common classes are the 3.5 cc and the 26cc Petrol engines.
