F1 Specifications

F1 racing uses tunnel hull catamarans that are capable of both high speed and exceptional maneuverability. Overall, the boats weigh 860 pounds (390 kilogrammes), including 260 pounds (118 kilogrammes) of engine. They are 20 feet (6 metres) long and seven feet (2 metres) wide, keeping weight low through extensive use of carbon fiber and kevlar. The tunnel hull design creates an air cushion under the hull, so that at speed only a few inches touch the water, leading to the high speed possible with these hulls.

F1 boats are powered by a Mercury Marine V6 two stroke that burns 100LL Avgas at a rate of 120 liters (32 gallons) per hour, generating 425 horsepower at 10,500 rpm. This engine can propel the boats to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than four seconds and to a maximum speed of over 240 km/h (150 mph).

Spectacular finish of the 2022 uim f1h2o world championship.

In Sharjah, UAE, the two last Rounds of the 2022 UIM F1H20 World Championship have given another proof of how spectacular powerboat racing can be, as much for the drivers involved as for the spectators following the races.

The title was up for grabs until the very last moments of the two back-to-back races in Sharjah. In the last race of the season, Philippe Chiappe of Team China CTIC Shenzen set an impressive final mark to his brilliant career by winning the most animated ever Grand Prix on Khaled Lagoon, ahead of Poland’s Bartek Marszalek (Stromoy Racing F1H20 Team), and Italian Alberto Comparato (Comparato F1).

Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President of the UAE Marine Sports Federation, H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and H.E. Saeed Mohammed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council.

In representation of the Hosting Nation of the Opening Round of the 2023 UIM F1 H2O World Championship in Indonesia, H.E. Zainudin Amali, Indonesia’s Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs joined UIM President Chiulli in Sharjah and offered a most appealing perspective for the new F1 powerboat racing season that will take off end February 2023 on Lake Toba.
