Tor Bay Harbour

Saturday 24^th August will see the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes powerboat race competitors racing in Tor Bay waters.

These extremely fast powerboats will enter the bay from the East and race around two set markers before entering Torquay Harbour to berth alongside.

The race start time at Cowes is scheduled for 0900hrs and the lead boats could be expected in Tor Bay by 1000hrs depending on conditions. Mariners are advised to keep to the inside of any turn markers and ensure they do not obstruct the race in any way. Safety boats will be located at each of the turn marks which will be located as shown on the chart below. At either 60 or 90 minutes after their arrival depending on weather conditions the boats will restart south of the harbour entrance and commence a rolling start for their return passage to Cowes.

Mariners are reminded that the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea will apply at all times.
