Honda 4 stroke's as well or we can run a VIP Racing day at
one of the Championship venues. Please call for further
information.
Q. One of
my friends has a second-hand hull called a Ceasar can
I use this?
A. Unfortunately
this cannot be raced in the Zapcat series; it has to be a
Gemini Z10 to qualify.
Q. My daughter/son

A. Providing
their co-pilot or pilot is over 18 at each event then they
can race.

event?

have never raced, this year it is free of charge. If
you have raced, then the full season licence is £251.00 or
a temporary licence for 2 events maximum is £60.00 per weekend
event.
Q. Do you have to be light and fit to succeed?
A. Fitness helps a great deal especially in the surf,
being light does not always help. Success is actually down to
preparation, set up, hours in the boat, practice in varying
conditions, awareness, knowledge of rules and those other
racers’ qualities such as will to win, nerve and controlled
aggression.
Q. Where can I see a Zapcat race and how many boats
race?
A. Usually around 40 + Zapcats will race at different
venues throughout the UK please take a look at the race
calendar for the next race or your nearest event.
Q. Can my company sponsor a boat, a team or an event?
A. Sponsorship
is always welcomed and we have some great packages for our
sponsors.
