Cicuit over in Oulton Broads do juniors too, single seat J250 class.
The Ks are classed as offshore and have driver & navigators, don't worry they don't need GPS though max 1 mile offshore

Gav,
Both these clubs have classes for standard ski-boats
First one is Windemere, second is Car Mill at St. Helens
Both are on sheltered water so it should be harder to stuff it (shouldn't it?)
You'll have to get cracking on a lightweight Sequel 14 before the season starts.

OCR More info
An Introduction to OCR (Offshore Circuit Racing) Run on a day to day Basis by OCRDA (Offshore Circuit Racing Drivers Association) & Administered by the RYA
As the name suggests we race on small Multi Lap Circuits at Predominantly Offshore Venues, mainly around the UK. Our courses are generally between 1 & 2 miles per lap to obtain around a 2 minute lap time for either 55 mins + 1 Lap or 30 mins & 25 mins + Lap Racing on Saturday & Sunday with 10 Venues (20 Races) per season between May & October.
Due to new Rules it is now technically feasible to compete in an average conventional family Ski Boat.
A full spec National Boat would be: -
‘A’ Class min 18 foot up to 1850cc 2 Stroke 2200cc 4 Stroke (approx 140hp)
‘B’ Class min 16 foot up to 1350cc 2 Stroke 1600cc 4 Stroke (approx 90hp)
‘C’ Class min 14 foot up to 1000cc 2 Stroke 1300cc 4 Stroke (approx 70hp)
A Basic Boat (that is now eligible to run in the same National race) would be min 14 foot & up to approx 100hp although would have certain limitations on engine height weight etc. meeting a suitable safety standard (eligibility rests with the OCRDA) please email to see if your boat complies. You can obtain National 1 day Licenses (max 2 per season) but will need a full license to compete all season.
The min Safety equipment
Orange retirement flag
Anchor & Line
Pocket Mini Flares (1 per person)
2 Paddles
Bailer / Bilge Pump
2 White crash Helmets
2 Suitable Life Jackets
Full list is available on request although OCRDA will have some equipment available for hire.
You can just come along & enjoy the Social side or help with Timing, Safety etc.etc.
For any further info, Calendar, Eligibility etc. etc. please email bob@ocrda.freeserve.co.uk

Gav, you're not gonna win easily on the age front but OCR certainly will give the opportunity for a 14' seaquel up against similar boats.
Not sure if it was noted but you will need your own insurance too.

No more XR2's in OCR? I thought it was bad that they didn't allow 2.5's but the XR2 was a descent substitute, now is that gone too?
It's always puzzled me why they didn't make class 3 C, 2.5L!!!

To answer Gav's original question, a good class would be run what you brung with sub classes, devided up by running a measured mile on flat water and timed.

OCR
Gav, I think OCR has min and max weights, at least it did! Just something to considder. If you're build a purpose built boat to race in the class, find out how the boat is weighed, with or without driver, remaining fuel etc. and build a boat right on the min weight.
Is setback and jacks allowed in OCR?
Alan
