Known as the Haggis Hunters, the Finlayson Zapcat team were at Coniston Records Week storming down the course.

Zapcats are light weight, fast powerboats with a top speed of 45mph, capable of pulling upwards of 3Gs when cornering with racing teams consisting of a pilot and co-pilot.

Since 2001 Zapcat Racing has proved a phenomenal success, with the UK Zapcat National Championship establishing itself as the worlds largest one design championship and now celebrating its 13th Anniversary. The reasons for the sports' success can be attributed to the foundations and ethics on which Zapcat Racing is based:

Strict one design powerboat racing that is safe, affordable, fair and fun in challenging marine environments.

Due to strict one design nature of Zapat Racing, a level playing field is created across the sport. Unlike other smaller, expensive and often elitist classes of powerboat racing, with their need for multiple propellers and engine modifications. Most teams have one hull, one engine, two propellers and importantly one propeller guard … making the racing simple, safe and affordable!
