POWER BOAT CHALLENGE - PORT DICKSON!!!!!!!!!!!

CONVERGE TO PORT DICKSON THIS WEEKEND >>>>>>>>>>>>>20th-21st September 2014.

POWER BOAT CHALLENGE 2014

 

Don't forget this weekend, another water motorsport event in Port Dickson. Powe Boat Challenge 2014.

 Power boating describes activities performed in a motorized boat. Generally, a power boat has a high power-to-weight ratio and a hull design that allows for easy planing, which allows for higher speed and improved handling. Also, the shape of the actual boat is usually very streamlined, which minimizes air resistance and drag, therefore increasing speed. Power boats are used in yachting, waterskiing and wakeboarding.

Powerboating is generally considered to have begun in 1863 when Frenchman Jean Lenoir used a petrol engine in the small boat. The first major race took place in 1903 across the English Channel and the sport appeared as an event in the 1908 Olympics.

Taking place on Saturday and Sunday , September 20th to 21st 2014 at Port Dickson Waterfront  2014 Offshore Powerboat Race is due to start off here.

Recognised as one of powerboats toughest challenges, this challenge  has been taking place annually since 2011.

 Powerboats are one of the most dangerous and most powerful racing machines in the world. Fuel and maintenance of the boats are expensive, meaning it is often branded an elite sport. The powerboats are divided by class, ranging from class A to G as well as a historical boat classification.

Classes are dictated by the size of the boat's engine making the competition rife between classes A and B. All the classes begin the race together, following the same course making it an extremely diverse sport to watch. The initial acceleration down the Port Dickson Water front and out into the shore of Port Dickson Town proper.

Festivities begin on Saturday 20th of September  . However, the real event kicks off at 9am on Saturday 20th, when the boats speed off from Port Dickson Water front.

While you're there

While the boats are racing their way at Port Dickson Water Front  supporters and fans  will be able to enjoy all that power boats shows at their pit . I am not sure of any premium on sale for you and you family to take home as a memento.

 

I heard that you and family maybe able to view the boats on display  to appreciate their immense power just like the Formula 1 Racing power house.
