Its objective is to allow any yachtman coming from all France, and having a boat of production or prototype, to initiate themselves with the motonautism of competition and to take part in an official race. The "Speedboat Championship of France", organized by "Offshore oil rig Passion", has the role to develop the speedboat races in France. It counts this year 5 "Great Prices": Saint-Cyr military school (May 28 and 29), Bordeaux (June 25 and 26), the Cape of Agde (August 27 and 28), Curry-the-Wheel (September 10 and 11) and Martigues (1st and October 2).

To take part at this "Great Price of the Cape of Agde", it is necessary to train a crew of two members (1 pilot and 1 copilot), to discharge a registration fee of 100 euro per boat, to be obligatorily ensured near the Speedboat French Federation (either by having an annual licence, or by subscribing 72 hours a promotional licence of temporary pilot), and finally to fit in one of the above mentioned categories of boats. It is the occasion for some control to carry out their first official race and to try out the course of a briefing, the follow-up of the instructions of races, the tests, the departures of handles, the respect of a course... the whole in a sporting spirit without fault.
