History of WMBRC and motor boat racing at Broad Leys

There have been various Water Carnivals on Windermere since the 18th century, but the post war Regattas and Carnivals held in 1923 and 1924 also included events for motorboats and hydroplanes.  Between the carnivals a group of friends who owned boats met to race informally and the first trophy was presented in 1924 by Harold Pattinson to add interest to the event.  This trophy is still in existence and current drivers compete to win it annually. As more people became interested in the sport and came together, the Windermere Motor Boat Club was born on 24th October 1925.

Early powerboats at Waterhead in the late 1940s

'North of England whippet class' racing in 1939

Initially the club occupied a boathouse situated in Bowness Bay, the original building having been demolished now forms the headquarters of the Lake District Boat Club.  The initial design of the burgee had a "W" on the blue, but this was later altered to the red rose of Lancashire that is still currently seen on all the club boats.  It was also decided that ladies be admitted to membership of the club and several joined in 1927.  They took part in racing and the winner of the first official race was in fact a woman.

Timeline of 100 years of racing

click on image to enlarge

In the 1930s a shotgun was used to start the racing, but this was sensibly replaced by a chronometer in 1939.  Boats were wooden craft inboard hydroplanes with the crew often sat right at the back of the boat and the engine amidships. In those days the drivers would not get their hands dirty, relying on professional mechanics to maintain the boats.  They would literally arrive, cigars in mouth, remove their jackets and start racing.   ….no helmets or life jackets for them!

1938 at  Wateredge, Ambleside

World War 2 interrupted the racing for a few years with many of the boats being used in the war effort. Racing was tentatively resumed in 1946 with two races taking place that year. By 1949 racing was fully established and the tradition of the Fitting Out Dinner – where drivers thanked their mechanics - on the evening of the first race was established.  The Club held its first International meeting that same year which was run over a 3 mile triangular course. 

Frank Lydall's Cheetah late 1940s

By 1950 there were more than 100 members and with the end of petrol rationing more people became interested in powerboat racing.  The original clubhouse in the bay of Bowness was far too small so the members found and purchased Broad Leys on 18th August 1950. In 1951 a second international meeting took place and racing was held at the new premises of Broad Leys.  The Club had two of the fastest boats in the world at this time in Norman Buckley’s “Miss Windermere 2” and E.C. Giles’ “Diana” which could register 70 – 80 mph.

International Meet October 1951

1950s on the jetties at Broad Leys

Towards the end of the fifties the general pattern of boat building changed. Chris Craft had superseded the individual custom-built boats and they, in turn along with the hydroplanes gave way to the smaller Albatross with Coventry Climax engine, followed by the Whippet (a lightweight hydro) and the Delta which had a similar hull construction, but a 1500cc Ford engine. The Club has played a part in many local celebrations of national events such as the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth when twelve of the Club's racing boats escorted the Teal as it took Her Majesty and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh across the lake.  More recently, in June 2012 Club members sailing in the Queen of the Lake joined the huge flotilla on the Thames to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Catamaran racing at WMBRC

In 1964, one of the highlights for WMBC occurred when three boats from the Club took part in the Paris Six Hours Race on the Seine.  In 1968, following a demonstration by Bill Shakespeare in his Bristol V hull, the style of racing boats took another turn with boats racing with an outboard engine for the first time. Catamarans came and their sleek hulls painted in wild colours took maximum speeds up another notch.  It was around this time that the name of the club was altered to WMBRC to include the word racing in it to emphasise the true purpose of the Club.

Richard Solomon in Sheba

In 1971 the first International Grand Prix took place on Windermere with drivers from Italy, France, Holland, Belgium, Ireland, South Africa and Germany as well as Great Britain. Sadly, the event was to be forever remembered as the demise of Bill Shakespeare who died during pre-race practice.  A plaque to his memory can be found on the terrace wall of Broad Leys overlooking Windermere. Several more Internationals took place and 1973 heralded the arrival of the rotary engine allowing boats to reach speeds of 100mph on the straight. 

recent years

​ Airtours 44 at Barrow Docks

Racing on Windermere persisted throughout the 80s and 90s until 2005, when a 10nmph speed limit was imposed on all powered craft on the lake.  Subsequently, WMBRC relocated their races to the docks in Barrow.

Following successful discussions with the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) and other lake users WMBRC was granted exemption in 2013 to hold racing back on the lake for Regatta and the Commodore’s race day.  2018 saw a third Windermere race event added to the club’s calendar and in 2020 a fourth race event was granted.  All other races take place at Carr Mill St. Helens courtesy of Lancashire Powerboat Racing Club (LPRC).  Ongoing discussions take place on a regular basis to maintain the Club’s ability to race on specified days of the year.

Racing Today

The racing season begins in April and runs until September with eight race events taking place; four on Windermere and four at Carr Mill, St. Helens which is the base for LPRC.  The race course is in front of Broad Leys within the bay area South of Storrs Hall Hotel to Rawlinson’s Nab and is marked by orange buoys on race days.  Typically, there are up to seven races, each with a designated trophy. Most races are five laps which last approximately 5 minutes each and there is usually one ten lap race.

All races are handicapped according to the performance of the boat and the experience of the driver. Due to the handicap system all boats from the fastest to the slowest have an equal chance of winning. All types of boats can take part from recreational boats to full blown racing outfits, but all must be fitted according to Circuit Powerboat Association (CPA) guidelines.

Drivers observe the start clock and begin their laps at their allocated start time. It is then a race to the chequered flag to be the first over the finish line. Sometimes it is not the first across the line that wins a race though, because if you bust your handicap time then you drop back in the results order.

All drivers must have a racing licence from the CPA and complete a training programme by the club and have an annual medical. Drivers over the age of 16 years can take part in racing on Windermere as a passenger or driver in a boat with an engine under 115hp.

Over the age of 18 years they can then be a passenger or drive in a boat with an engine over 115hp. Anyone can request this course and we can provide full training in our club training boat 'Spirit of Windermere'. Should you decide this sport is for you then there is the option of attending a training day at LPRC

During the racing a full Safety and Patrol system is in place under CPA rules. The internationally renowned Osprey Power Boat Rescue Team joins us for every race. Patrol boats flying a pale blue flag are stationed around the perimeter of the course to ensure that no one can sail inadvertently onto the course and the LDNPA Ranger is also present. Ambulance presence is also required under CPA rules.

WMBRC club boats range from 60mph small mono hulls powered by 90hp engine up to Formula 2 class Catamarans capable of a straight line speed of 120mph in the right conditions. Many though opt for the mid-sized Phantom speed boat with V6 engines of varying power. This sees some competitive racing in the mid pack. A common opinion is that powerboat racing is very expensive. However, with handicap racing there is the opportunity for a variety of budgets with a competitive club boat costing in the region of £2,000 to £8,000. Some are single seaters and others two seaters meaning costs can be shared.

Newly-named Cowes Powerboat Festival to feature three races over August Bank Holiday weekend. British Powerboat Racing Club in new partnership with Powerboat P1 to grow the event. World-famous tourism destination Experience Kissimmee becomes presenting sponsor.

Powerboat P1, the international marine motorsport promoter, and the British Powerboat Racing Club (BPRC) have jointly announced a new partnership for this year’s Cowes Torquay Cowes offshore powerboat race that sees P1 provide marketing, communications and sponsorship support for the 63rd staging of the famous event in August.

Based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, the British Powerboat Racing Club organises the Cowes Torquay race which has been running since 1961. This was the first powerboat race outside the USA and is the longest running race in the world. Held every year over the August Bank Holiday weekend with international teams competing in different classes, the race covers a challenging 210-mile course along the south coast of England. Boats reach speeds in excess of 100mph, with the fleet racing non-stop to Torquay on the South Devon coast, where the teams will stop for approximately 90 minutes to the delight of local crowds, before returning non-stop to Cowes.

Earlier this month Powerboat P1 announced details of a unique agreement with Experience Kissimmee that sees the world-famous tourism destination in Central Florida sponsor both UIM Class 1 offshore racing and this year’s Cowes Torquay Cowes event. “We are thrilled with the evolution of our established partnership with P1 and joining the historic and prestigious Cowes endurance race in the UK presents another exciting opportunity for us to spotlight Kissimmee and its family-friendly attractions in one of our top international visitor markets,” commented DT Minich, President/CEO of Experience Kissimmee.

The racing fleet will assemble at Cowes Yacht Haven for scrutineering and safety inspection on Friday 23 August. The Cowes Torquay Cowes race will start at 9.30 the following morning (Saturday 24 August) followed immediately afterwards by the Cowes Poole Cowes race at 10.00am. Both races will start off the Squadron Line, Egypt Point, in the Solent. Sunday will see the start of the Round the Island Race at 10.00am, a unique event that the founders of the BPRC started in 1968 for all sizes of both race and leisure boats, old and new.

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

Dive into the adrenaline-fueled world of Class 1 Vee racing, where cutting-edge technology meets extreme speed. Governed by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the sport’s international authority, Class 1 Vee racing adheres to stringent rules and regulations, covering everything from boat design to team requirements.Constructed with precision and safety in mind, these boats boast specific hull designs, cockpit layouts, and engine specifications. Advanced materials like carbon fiber and Kevlar ensure both strength and minimal weight, allowing for optimal performance.

Behind the wheel, a skilled duo of driver and throttleman work in harmony to master the boat’s speed and direction. The driver focuses on steering, while the throttleman fine-tunes the boat’s power, adjusting the throttles accordingly.Racecourses, marked by buoys or other markers, challenge teams with multiple laps around 6-8 mile-long tracks. The length and difficulty of these courses can vary based on location and conditions, but one thing remains constant: sheer exhilaration.

Propelled by twin engines generating up to 1750 horsepower each, these powerboats can reach astonishing speeds of up to 120 mph. 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.

What is prw.

It’s a powerboat racing website that has covered circuit racing, offshore racing and PWC since 2016. Maintained by The Race Factory based in Norway who have specialists in event planning and promotion, social media, graphic design, and photography. We are currently working on our vision and believe that we can and will make a different in powerboating. We will dedicate our time to produce accurate factual stories and to promote the sport to a wider global audience.

There must be something about the date 02-02-2022 that inspires offshore racing series organisers to publish their calendars. So, having seen what’s happening across the pond in the sunshine state the British based United Kingdom Offshore Powerboat Racing Association published their World ‘Offshore’ Powerboat Championships for 2022.

Amongst those racers keen to see what’s happening was Miles Jennings who once again will be racing on both sides of the pond.

I’m looking forward to collecting a lot of Air Miles this year. I’m starting off the season by racing around the Isle of Wight, just off the south coast of England with Drew Langdon in Silverline Bullet at the opening round of the UKOPRA series. Then two weeks later I’m in Cocoa Beach, Florida with P1 Offshore and Zabo Racing.

Jennings went onto say.

We had a pre-season meeting with a lot of the UK racers earlier this week and I’m really excited to see that we are going to have the largest amount of UKOPRA Class 1 competitors ever seen. It’s going to look like the great days of UK offshore racing from back in the 1990’s.

UKOPRA 2022 World ‘Offshore’ Powerboat Championships.

30 April/01 May – Round the Island / Southampton

10/11/12 June – Poole Bay 100 / Poole Quay
