Honda Powerboats back for 2009

The Honda Formula 4-Stroke Powerboat Championship will return to the Isle of Man again next year.

The Manx leg is the the final round of the series over the weekend of the 19th and 20th September.

The other rounds are at the Lyn Peninsula in North Wales, Jersey, Lowestoft and Plymouth.

Eight-time Class One World Powerboat Champion and Director of the Honda series is Steve Curtis.

He's glowing about the Island and the other venues - "Each has proven expertise in hosting major powerboat race events, and the required resources and knowledge to help us to deliver our show to a high standard".
