FOR the first time, National Boat Shows (NBS), will showcase action on the water at The British International Motor Show.
The Marine Experience promises to thrill, excite and entertain with some stunning on-water displays to compliment the attractive line-up of boats on the marina. The event runs from the July 23 to August 3 at ExCeL London.
The spectacular entertainment will include a variety of activity all day, every day, throughout the event; from Racing Powerboats to Viper Jet Boats, alongside head to head racing including Thundercats, jet skis, offshore circuit race boats, wakeboarding, and RIBs.
NBS is also delighted to be welcoming Earthrace – pictured – the wave-piercing trimaran to English waters, following her attempted record-breaking circumnavigation of the globe.
The boat, which runs on 100 per cent biodiesel, is promoting the use of greener fuel in the boating industry, and will be gracing the marina for the entirety of the Show.
The first weekend of the show will even play host to the third leg of the National Thundercats Championship. This highly competitive, adrenaline-fuelled race will include the final six teams of the competition battling it out on a challenging ‘M’ circuit, including turn buoys and chicanes.
