 NEW ZEALAND POWERBOAT FEDERATION PROPSTARS 2023

In Association with the UIM and Fujairah International Marine Club all UIM affiliated countries have been given the 

opportunity to send two Youth to the UAE to be trained as Youth Instructors in May this year.

Once trained up, they will return to the respective countries where the youth program is to be set up and run.

The Propstars Program gives us a world class training program to bring more youth into the sport.

NZ Offshore in attending this course from May 1 to May 7.

UIM PROPSTARS PROGRAM 

The UIM/ FIMC Youth Training Centre, which is the first of the kind in the UAE, was established under the patronage of His Highness, and symbolises his willingness to make the Fujairah International Marine Club a hub for water-based sports and activities for many years to come.

The Propstars project which is the key element used at the training centre started six years ago. It has now evolved into the comprehensive training syllabus with professional training for the future generations of powerboat racing competitors and officials. It is one of the highest priorities of the UIM with its goal of establishing a world-wide network of training centres to ensure the success and growth of the sport.

At the beginning of the course the focus is on the Circuit discipline and training with the GT15 boats. With recent recognition given to the GT10 class it might just be a matter of time before these slightly less powerful craft are introduced.

 

Then the concept is extended to the Offshore discipline which use the P750 Class. The UIM Propstars training programme teaches competitors and officials of all ages the safe, responsible, and environmentally friendly way to go racing.

Basic Aquabike/Jet Ski Training is also available which offers an ideal introduction to those new to the sport. The instruction provided lay the foundation stones of knowledge which will prove to be invaluable as progression is made towards the Advanced and Competition levels of this programme. Classroom based and on water practical instruction is provided at for each level.
