Welcome to the NSW Council of the Australian Power Boat Association, We are the controlling body for powerboat racing in the state of NSW.

The Council does not conduct events itself. We coordinate events and oversee the rules of the sport, Feel free to browse this site where you can learn the latest on upcoming events, race results, and what is going on generally..

9th & 10th June 2012 - Australian Formula Future Titles & Australian 1250cc, 550cc, Prostock & Unlimited Outboard Titles and the John 'Rocky' Allen for 5ltr - Dargle, June Long weekend

The NSW Council has been in existence in its own right since the 1955, although NSW has formed major part of the Australian Power Boat Association since its inception in 1929. The Council consists of member Clubs who oversee the sport in NSW, by giving sanction to member clubs, discussion with rules, Licensing, Sanction/Insurance for race meetings and NSW Championships.

NSW holds the distinction of conducting the one of the oldest trophy currently in existence - the Eastway Shield for the Championship of NSW, first run in 1922 and still contested today. The NSW Unlimited Open Championship was first conducted in 1906 over 100 years ago and predates the first Australian Championship The Griffith Shield) by some 3 years

Powerboat racing is an exhilarating sport and caters for all ages and types of people and all types of budgets - from the J1 Junior Class (6hp outboards) with children as young as 8 years old, right up to the 140 miles per hour plus Unlimited Outboards and Inboards. Most clubs conduct club days with handicap racing that allows people with the most modest of boats to become involved and compete on skill and not outright speed.

Race meetings are regularly held all over NSW. A majority held in the Sydney area - the Hawkesbury River at Windsor, the Georges River at Milperra and Kogarah Bay at Sans Souci. Outside Sydney race meetings are held at the Hunter River at Raymond Terrace and the Manning River at Taree. Other meetings at held occasionally at venues such as Karuah, Toukley, Griffith, Ballina and Port Macquarie.
