This race forms part of the Cowes Powerboat Festival which includes the famous and legendary Cowes-Torquay-Cowes race.

The company will partner with Predator Technology to capture on-board footage during the race, to film the event.

This ensures TV Yachts, apart from the event itself, is the only place to catch all of the action; and in addition to this, as a celebration of the tenth anniversary of The Honda Formula 4-Stroke Powerboat Series and to mark the occasion, TV Yachts will also be using all footage to create a special, tenth anniversary DVD.

Honda Formula 4-Stroke Association:
The Honda Formula 4-Stroke Powerboat Series is the largest offshore powerboat Championship in the world. With the help of eight-time Class 1 World Powerboat Champion, Steve Curtis, MBE, Honda launched the Series in 1999 in order to prove the performance of their then newly launched BF130 4-stroke outboard.

Since its creation ten years ago, F4SA has fundamentally changed powerboat racing in the UK. Its rapid development has seen it grow from just four teams competing in a single 130hp class in 1999, to some 20 teams competing in two classes in 2009.
