So finally the 2013 Grand Prix of the Sea will show what powerboating is all about. There will be German, Italian and British participants. We will certainly miss the very succesful Belgian team 2B1 Furnibo. They spiced up every race since they participated. Bas Verheul is the organiser of the 2013 event with Belgian Jean-Marie Van Lancker as Race Director.
Many hands are necessary to make it to a success. Beneath you can find more info about the actual races that are held on the Northsea. Weather forecasts promises wind and waves so it will be spectacular to say the least. Stay tuned on Powerboating.be and get the latest news!
