The UK BladeRun in May will be followed by eleven international BladeRun Powerboat Rallies throughout 2008.
The revised format of 2.5 days and destinations A to B to A also allows many smaller boats to take part as well as lower charter / transport & logistics costs. Two Zapcats have already confirmed their places including BladeRun veteran but Zapcat Racing Rookie Peter Bonham-Christie.
The UK BladeRun will start on Friday 29th May with a welcome dinner and party in Southampton and a 10:00am start off Cowes the next day with an optional time trial around the Isle of Wight and then a great run down to Brighton for a night of dinners and parties.
The next morning will see the fleet return to Bembridge for a Private Beach Party and an afternoon of water sports, and then return back to Ocean Village Marina for the awards ceremony dinner and VIP party.
