The Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) and the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) have kindly sanctioned the UIM Class 3C World Offshore Championship to take place in Guernsey, Channel Islands in September 2008 The Bailiwick of Guernsey forms part of the British Isles and is situated just 30 miles from the French coast and 70 miles from Britain's south coast. British yet Continental, the Island offers numerous benefits for such a prestigious event. The harbour of St. Peter Port is considered to be one of the most picturesque in Europe.

The facilities in and around the town of St. Peter Port are superb. The wet pits and race control areas are all at the Queen Elizabeth ll Marina, all craning and launching into the 800 berth Marina with all facilities available in one area. The St. Peter Port area together with the east coast of Guernsey and the west coast of Sark form a natural arena for racing, and provides for challenging courses, truly a navigator's offshore powerboat event. Guernsey has a world-wide reputation for its commitment to safety with hundreds of volunteers giving the best support and expertise found anywhere in the sport of power boat racing. There are many wonderful restaurants and cafés in and around St. Peter Port, and hotels to suit all budgets. Roll-on, Roll-off travel is by our long serving friends, Condor Ferries who have been a staunch supporter of power boat racing events in the Channel Islands for many years. They operate from Portsmouth on the south coast of England and Saint Malo on the Brittany coast.

You will not get a bigger welcome anywhere else in the World and hospitality will be second to none. We look forward to seeing you in Guernsey in 2008.
