We at Powerboating thought that giving more info on the Yalta races would be welcomed by you. So here we go. The Local Event Organiser, under authority from the Ukrainian Powerboat Federation and the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), will organise at Yalta, Ukraine, the UIM Powerboat Yalta Grand Prix of the Sea 2010. The UIM Powerboat Yalta Grand Prix of the Sea 2010 is a World Championship event conforming to applicable UIM rules and regulations (see Pleasure Navigation Rule 309, please also refer to www.uimpwerboating.com for full details). The teams receive the full documentation on the courses providing the exact co-ordinates of the buoys, start and finish. All races will be run in a clockwise direction. Race director Jean-Marie van Lancker and Kathy Van den Hende who is in charge of the secretary amongst others are flanked by dozens of collaborators to get things organised. All the teams have to perform in their class in two disciplines: the sprint and endurance. The number of laps differs per class (Supersport en Evolution) and per discipline. The endurance always has the biggest number of laps. The start of both disciplines is a so called flying start. All powerboats are located on one line, defined by the Powerpole, next to the starboat. When this last one shows the green flag, it's full throttle.
Powerpole
This course is 4.92 Nm (9.11 km) long and is to be run clockwize. It is held on Friday May 7th 2010 from 17:00 to 18:00 hours. This course determins the starting position of each team for the sprint and endurance race.
Sprint This course begins with a start lap of 4.09 Nm (7.57 km). The sprint course itself is 4.92 Nm (9.11 km) long. It is held on Saturday from 15:00 to 16:00 hours.
Endurance
This course begins with a start lap of 4.09 Nm (7.57 km). The endurance course itself is 4.92 Nm (9.11 km) long. It is held on Sonday May 9th 2010 from 15:00 to 16:15 hours.
Dry pits
The dry pits are located at Lenina Quay, 98600 Yalta. As you can see on the picture the impressive cranes are located between the boats providing an excellent way to carry the boats onto the water en up on the trailers.
So now you got info on the races. Below you'll find the time schedule so you have an idea of what is when going on.
We dachten hier bij Powerboating dat wat meer informatie over de Yalta races welgekomen zou zijn voor jou dus ... hier gaan we dan. De plaatselijke event organisator zal onder de vleugels van de Ukrainian Powerboat Federation en de Union Internationale Motonautique, (UIM) de UIM Powerboat Yalta Grand Prix of the Sea 2010 in Yalta, Oekraine op zich nemen. De UIM Powerboat Yalta Grand Prix of the Sea 2010 is een Wereldkampioenschap conform de UIM regels (zie Pleasure Navigation Rule 309 en ook www.uimpwerboating.com voor meer details). De teams ontvangen de volledige documentatie - waaruit je hieronder meer te zien krijgt - met coördinaten van alle boeien, start- en finishlijn. Alle races worden in klokwijzerzin gevaren. Race director Jean-Marie van Lancker en Kathy Van den Hende die onder andere het race-secretariaat waarneemt worden bijgestaan door talrijke medewerkers om alles tot in de puntjes te regelen. Alle teams moeten aan twee disciplines deelnemen: de sprint- en de endurance-race. Het aantal rondes verschilt per klasse (Supersport en Evolution) en per discipline. De endurance telt altijd de meeste rondes. De start van beide discipline is een zogenaamde vliegende start. Alle boten varen op een lijn, bepaald door de powerpole, naast de startboot. Als deze laatste de groene vlag toont, kan het gas erop.
Powerpole
Dit parcours is 4.92 Nm (9.11 km) lang en wordt in klokwijzerzin gevaren. Deze race gaat door op vrijdag 7 mei 2010 van 17:00 tot 18:00 uur. De uitslag van de powerpole is bepalend voor de startpostie van elk team voor de spint- en endurance-race.

Dry pits
De droge pits zijn gevestigd op de Lenina Kaai, 98600 Yalta. Zoals je kunt zien op de foto staan de indrukwekkende kranen tussen de boten. Daardoor kunnen makkelijk en probleemloos te boten tewaterlaten en ook weer op de trailers zetten.
