Bill,

Coniston Power Boat Records Week 31 October – 04 November is the only event in the Powerboat Racing Calendar to bring together all classes of boat. Entry is open to all from tiny hydroplanes, through inshore circuit racers to the largest offshore boats. It is the finale to the racing season.

During the five days of Power Boat Records Week, competitors (who are all RYA registered drivers) attempt to break British and World Power Boat Records in a variety of classes, at speeds ranging from 30mph to over 150mph. Competitors and officials from all over the country assemble annually for what has become an increasingly popular event since it’s inception in 1970.

The runs commence at 8:00am weather permitting. Lunch is from 12:00 – 2:00pm with the last run each day at around 4:00pm, with the final run on Friday at 2:00pm but without lunch.


Here is a clip from last year;
