Poole Bay 100 UKOPRA 2026
The Poole Bay 100 is an offshore powerboat racing event held in Poole Bay, off the south coast of England. The race course is set in open water outside Poole Harbour, using the bay’s exposed conditions to test speed, endurance, and handling. The event attracts offshore racing teams competing across multiple classes and is a long-established fixture on the UK offshore racing calendar.
The event is based at Poole Quay Boat Haven in Poole, Dorset, which serves as the onshore focal point for teams and spectators. Poole Quay sits adjacent to the historic harbour and town centre, with public access along the waterfront, nearby marinas, restaurants, and accommodation. Spectators can view race activity from harbour entrances, the quay, and surrounding shoreline areas overlooking Poole Bay.
