The weekend course involves sailing a catamaran training boat powered by a 30 hp Tohatsu outboard engine that runs on climate-neutral e-fuel. These boats are regarded as fast but safe entry-level boats in the catamaran racing boat classes.
The theoretical part of the course includes the conditions of motorboat racing, safety, theoretical basics of the driving behaviour of a racing catamaran and engine technology. In practice, the focus is on familiarising yourself with the racing boat and, of course, driving exercises, as well as starting, accelerating and cornering. After successfully completing the practical and theoretical training, each participant can take the licence test, which enables them to obtain a racing boat licence and thus take part in motorboat races. Drivers who have already completed a training course but have not yet acquired their racing licence can also take their exam and complete training laps on this weekend.
The minimum age for this boat class is 14 years. The training takes place on the grounds of the Lorch Water Sports Club, Rheinstraße (B42) in 65391 Lorch am Rhein. The participation fee is 39 euros for participants under the age of 18 and 99 euros for participants aged 18 and over. Catering and accommodation are not included.
