This event is sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association and permitting through the New Hampshire Marine patrol. The NHMP will be there helping out with patrolling the outside of the perimeter of the race course.

There will be volunteer patrol boats positioned around the race course. All spectator boats can observe the race outside of the course. The course starts 300 feet off the Wolfeboro town docks. The race course is a mile long and 300 feet wide. It runs from the town docks out to Sewall point. For those who want to come to Wolfeboro by car you can see the race boats up close in the pit area. The pit area will be the public parking area next to the public docks. Of course it will be roped off wth no cars allowed. And as Webmaster Don states in his post the Winni Belle is a great place to observe the race.

The first event will start at 8:00 AM. It will be the triple cockpits. Then every 20 minutes another group of race boats will start. The order will be outboards, small outboards, Mid hydros, Jersey Skiffs, Flatbottoms and the Big bad fast hydros. The same schedule will also be run in the afternoon starting at 1:15. If you want to take a ride in any of these boats there will be a charity ride on selected boats at Noon and at 3:55.

The race committee is also looking for volunteer patrol boats. If you want to see the race up close and be a patrol boat please PM me and give me your contact information.
