Raffaele Chiulli, President
Dear powerboating friends,
Federation.
We all know that we are in an intense transitional phase and that there is a lot of work to be done to put the UIM
train on the right track in the interest of our sport.
CONTENTS
It fills me with great pride and honour to have been elected as President of the International Powerboating
I am committed to making sure that the UIM will focus on three main action points: integration, democracy and
reputation. The UIM will strengthen its position as:
– the Federation of Federations, acting as a true link between all National Authorities
– a Union governed by a democratically-inspired, decision-making process and serving its members with
integrity and transparency
– a point of reference for powerboating as one of the leading motor sports worldwide
Doing this we will have the chance to establish powerboating as a powerful sporting movement - and we will
achieve our short and midterm goals more successfully.
In the forthcoming season, which looks fascinating, we will focus on the development of young talent through
our Formula Future, the reinforcement of cooperation with the Olympic Committee and the promotion of
environmental awareness and environmentally-friendly technologies and fuels.
I am prepared to guide the UIM into the future and, by working together, we will succeed.
I wish you all a safe and successful powerboating season!
Raffaele Chiulli
President

Thani Al Qamzi - growing into a real title contender
The key story of the year came in the third
race of the season in China at the Grand Prix
of Xi’an when defending World Champion
Scott Gillman of the Emirates Team, who was
leading in the championship and looking for
his fifth title, started feeling sick in the middle
of the race and had to pull out prematurely.
After extensive testing it was determined that
the 48 year-old from Los Angeles should retire
from the sport as a driver. He finished the year
sixth in the driver’s championship with 35
points despite an abbreviated season.
Gillman ended his career with 23 victories
in 89 starts. This is the second highest
winning percentage of any driver in the
history of the sport with a 25.8% chance
of victory for each race start. The
American holds the all-time mark of 55
podiums in his 60 official race finishes for
an amazing 91.6%. This incredible record
of reaching the podium may never be
beaten. Only Cappellini is even somewhat
close enough to challenge this record with
a 77.6% mark.
Gillman’s four world titles are second only to
Cappellini’s nine. These were set in a little
over ten years of racing compared to
Guido’s eighteen seasons. Scott Gillman will
go down in this sport as one of the most
talented and gifted drivers ever to enter this
sport. He will continue to give back to the
sport he loves remaining on to continue to
coach the young Emirates Team drivers and
be a valuable member of the Abu Dhabi
International Marine Sports Club for years to
come.

F2000
Over the last few years, F2000 class has
experienced very turbulent times and at the
outset it appeared that 2007 would be no
different.
to tenth spot. After Owen’s penalty, his brother
Colin was awarded first place followed by local
favorite Duarte Benavente and another Briton
Steve Cook.
However, things changed as soon as the UIM
decided to grant the organisational rights of the
UIM F2000 World Cup Series to three
distinguished gentlemen with extensive
experience in powerboating – Abdul Salam
Fairooz, Leif Ahlborg, and Modris Kalnciems. The
three quickly agreed on the action plan and
organisation of the series and the season was off
to a good start.
With this victory Colin set himself on the way to
become the overall World Cup title winner for the
second year in a row. Overall, the opening round
was a success and the series looks forward to
going back to Vila Real de Santo Antonio for many
more years.
As Kalnciems was responsible for the first two
rounds of the series, his team took the initiative to
create a new logo and a website for the Series.
The launch of both was at the opening round of
the series in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, Portugal
on May 26.
Over the course of the season, the new identity of the
series was widely accepted and appreciated by
spectators, fans, drivers, local organisers,
cooperation partners and the UIM. As a result, it was
decided that starting from 2008 the class will be
renamed from F2000 to F2 in order to become a more
competitive brand in the sporting events market.
As already mentioned, the opening round of the
series was held in the Portuguese Algarve. Overall
some sixteen drivers representing eleven nations
entered the race.
In the Speed Record competition, Ugis Gross
from Latvia reached a top speed of 175 kmh.
Gross was followed by Kuwaiti Yousef Al Rabayan
(170 kmh) and Owen Jelf of Great Britain. In the
Match Race competition, Rick Ivar Hakonsen of
Norway proved he has the biggest nerve in headto-head competition by beating Italian Alex
Carella in a nail-biting final. In the battle for third
place, Colin Jelf of Great Britain beat Al Rabayan.
In the Grand Prix of Portugal itself, all sixteen
boats were ready to fire-up. Al Rabayan had pole
position and, as he was looking to maintain the
lead while passing the first buoy, his boat collided
with that of Colin Jelf. Due to the damage, the
Kuwaiti completed only six laps and ended his
opening race with a spectacular barrel-roll.
After that, the whole race was led by Owen Jelf,
who was also the first past the chequered flag but
later received a one lap penalty and was pushed

The historic city of Riga, capital of Latvia, hosted
the second round of the 2007 World Cup Series
on the River Daugava flanked by two bridges and
with the old city on one side of the course.
In total, seventeen drivers entered the race
representing eleven countries. Al Rabayan with
178 kmh won the Speed Record competition
followed by Owen Jelf (174 kmh) and Italian
Gianni Manici (169 kmh). The local crowd cheered
on Uvis Slakteris as he beat the flying Frenchman
Jean Baptist Thomas in the Match Race final. Ivar
Hakonsen managed to take third by beating Al
Rabayan.
Out of seventeen boats entered, only fifteen were
able to start the Grand Prix of Latvia. Young Italian
Alex Carella had pole position and he allowed no
room for the others to pass him throughout the
entire race earning his first ever F2000 World Cup
event victory.
There was very fierce competition for second place
between Ivar Hakonsen and the local favourite
Gross who managed to pass his local rival
Slakteris to push him off the podium. Nevertheless,
Ivar Hakonsen managed to hold his position and
finished second leaving Gross in third.
The race in Riga is part of the annual Riga City
Festival, which receives wide public attention.
This year’s event received a special honour when
the newly elected president of Latvia, Valdis
Zatlers, took his place on the pace boat during
the parade lap prior to the Grand Prix itself.
After the race in Riga, the teams headed off to the
Middle East for the third round in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia. Overall sixteen boats were at the line up,
although Speed Record was cancelled due to
technical issues. Match Race was won by Ivar
Hakonsen beating Slakteris in the final.
Third in the Match Race was Gross who managed
to beat Colin Jelf, who also won the Grand Prix
race and, thus, came very close to winning the
overall 2007 World Cup classification. Arif Al
Zafeen (UAE) was second and was followed by
Jean Baptist Thomas.
The final round of the UIM F2000 World Cup
Series was held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah located
on the Malaysian part of Borneo Island – home of
the Orangutan and Proboscis monkey.
In all eighteen drivers entered the race and with a
speed of 156 kmh Al Rabayan won the speed
record and left two Latvians behind him –
Slakteris (150 kmh) and Gross (147 kmh). Match
Race was canceled due to weather conditions,
while the Grand Prix of Malaysia was started on
Sunday afternoon but then stopped and
postponed to Monday morning, which offered
much better conditions for reigning champion
Colin Jelf who won the race and earned a second
consecutive World Cup title. He was followed by
his brother Owen and Ivar Hakonsen. The local
organiser of the event in Kota Kinabalu did an
excellent job and the series is keen to have more
rounds in this beautiful location.
The 2007 season can be considered a success as
the series managed to organise four World Cup
events. In addition, a professional TV programme
was produced and broadcast over various
international channels for all of the events.
Organisers are keen on continuing the
development of the UIM F2 World Cup Series and
hope that 2008 will bring many more positivity to
the F2 class and powerboating in general.

F2000
Scandinavia stages the UIM F2000 European Cup
The 2007 Scandinavian Formula 2000 series
was, for the first time, allocated the title UIM
F2000 European Cup with six events
including one in Finland, two in Norway and
three in Sweden. All were televised and
broadcast on the largest sports channel in
Northern Europe, Viasat Sport and watched
by some 10–20,000 spectators.
Nora
The first round was organised in Nora,
Sweden where a total of fourteen boats put
on a great show in the Grand Final with
Norwegian Rick Ivar Hakonsen in top form
winning in front of Uvis Slakteris and Ugis
Gross, both representing Latvia.
Ekenas
Ekenas, a new venue in the south of
Finland’s archipelago, was the host for round
two. Despite a delay due to bad weather, the
Grand Final eventually got under way with
Finland’s Anders Forsstrom penalised for
jumping the gun.
Gross took the chequered flag after the OOD
decided to stop the final after 70% of the
race, due to the bad weather conditions.
Second was Finland’s Olle Martin with third
going to Marit Stromoy of Norway, the only
female driver in the class.
Karlshamn
For the third round of the European Cup and
Mercury Grand Prix Tour, the teams went to
Karlshamn in southern Sweden.

For the Grand Final, twelve drivers contested
a great race under very tough water
conditions in front of some 15,000
spectators. And in an incident-free race,
Gross again showed his skill by taking the
title. Slakteris was second with Stromoy
again in third. Unfortunately, Josef Robayan
failed to start the final, despite presenting
the first Formula 2000 boat with crash boxes
installed.
Tonsberg.
Round Four was organised by former F1
driver Thomas Guttormsen in Tonsberg
Norway. Unfortunately, home favourite
Haakonsen blew his engine during
qualifying. In the final, Gross was the first to
the chequered flag but hitting the start buoy
resulted in a one lap penalty. It meant the
winner of the Tonsberg Grand Final became
Slakteris in front of Martin and Jonas
Andersson.
Drammen
Around 10,000 fans gathered at a new race
site in the centre of Drammen for a hectic
race on the 1,350m course.
Although the low number of drivers was due
to a World Championship round in Riga the
same day, the ten pilots presented lap times
down to 33 seconds. Gross was the only
international driver racing in Drammen on
the Saturday and in Riga the following day.
Gross had pole and kept his position all the
way to the chequered flag. Martin was
Marit Stromoy
second home before Stromoy, Stark, Fors
and Osterberg. But there was a dramatic
twist when chief scrutineer Peter Widmer
decided to disqualify Gross for using an
illegal engine.
Stockholm
The final round at a new race site in the Port
of Stockholm saw Stromoy take the Grand
Final win ahead of Gross, Fors, Slakteris and
Gennady Tuchkov of Latvia. After the Grand
Final, Gross was crowned winner of the UIM
F2000 European Cup for 2007 and awarded
the UIM gold medal with Slakteris taking
silver and Stromoy the bronze at the
traditional Awards Banquet held at the Hilton
Hotel in central Stockholm.

Close racing action is the norm in Aquabike events
One of the most popular of the racing
categories, the 2007 Aquabike season got
underway at the end of March with the
Rallyjet World Championship in Guadalupa.
who was crowned the new World
Champion. The event was brought to a
fitting close with a special demonstration
by multiple champion Nastia Potanina to
celebrate the end of her career.
Unfortunately
the
Classpro
World
Championship, scheduled to be held in
Portugal, was cancelled due to legal
problems between the two national
Federations.
The season came to a close at the end of
September with the Rallyjet European
Championship in Cavalaire where two
French pilots, Philippe Di Renzo and Renaud
Arlaut triumphed in the Runabout and Ski
Divisions respectively.
The 2008 season will be opened as usual with
the Guadalupa Rallyjet World Championship,
while the Classpro World Championship will
be hosted in Cyprus. St Petersburg and Spain
will organise and stage European titles for
both Classpro and Rallyjet.
Due to the rough sea conditions, local pilot
David Vaitilingon caused an upset by seeing
off the challenges of the leading riders on
their factory aquabikes in the Runabout
category. In the Ski Division, it was Croatia’s
Slaven Ivancic who stormed to victory and
first place on the podium.
The Classpro European Championship was
held in San Rafael de Los Angeles, Spain at
the end of July with titles handed out to both
men and women, while August saw the
Aquabike Women’s World Championship
staged in the French town of Golfe-Juan.
The event boasted incredible scenery, a VIP
tent and spectator grandstands built on the
rocks of the port pier, which offered perfect
viewing points of the competition.
Italian pilot Alessia Ida clinched both
Slalom and Ski Division categories, while in
the Runabout division Monaco pilot Laure
Hummel took it down to the wire by
beating the title-holder Karine Paturel over
the last few laps. Wrapping up the
proceedings, the Freestyle Category was
won by Austria’s Eva Maria Antensteiner

10 th ANNUAL PHOTO COMPETITION
A total of 154 images came under scrutiny from an international
jury led by award-winning photographer James Wright who
judged on creativity, technical quality, composition and subject
matter with the total points scored deciding the winners.
Competition between the best of the best was particularly tight
giving the three-man jury – comprising Wright, UIM Yearbook
editor Alan Ewens and Belgium-based photographer Matthias
Verstraete – a difficult task in selecting the overall winners.
In the end, Paul Lakatos (Circuit), Peter Ohlsson (Offshore),
Peter Piovarcsy (Endurance) and Jan Miskovic (Retouched)
took first place in each of their classes, while Italy’s Vittorio
Ubertone enjoyed a hat trick of success winning both
Atmosphere and Aquabike classes and claiming the second
Image Of The Year award for his winning aquabike shot of
Alessia Ida.
As well as being available in the yearbook, the top three images
in each class can be viewed on the UIM official website at
www.uimpowerboating.com. Photographers who took part in
the competition can also find a full round up of all the class
results online.

The 2007 powerboating season ended with a
great deal of international success which
confirms the starring roles played by Italian
drivers.
The Italian Powerboat Federation won fifteen
world and five European titles. On the whole,
44 medals were won by Italians in all
international competitions - an extraordinary
number of medals that confirms Italy’s
standing at the top in powerboat
classifications.
The racing results are a reflection of major
activity within the organisation. Italy’s
commitments in powerboating work well, for
example, in Endurance where in just a few
years entries have increased to 50 boats per
event and in the Italian Offshore
Championship, which has the highest
number of participating drivers in the world,
including many foreign crews. Success, too,
in Aquabike, which always sees a high
number of quality riders. On the Circuit
scene, F2, O250 and OSY 400 events
constantly increase their number of
participants.
Internationale Motonautique, the highest
institutional body, was Italian Raffaele Chiulli.
For the first time in the history of
powerboating, an Italian candidate has
become President of the UIM and this is
surely an important signal for a country that
in the last few years has shown the ability to
galvanise the sport, thanks to the
development of new initiatives.
The 2008 season will see the Federation aim

that will be held in Italy such as the O700

2008 will be an exciting year for competition.
In OSY 400, a promotional category to enter
the International Formulae sees 20 young
drivers, aged from 14-18 on the starting line
at events in the Italian Championship.

PORTUGAL
Opening round of the F2000 World Cup
In 2007, the Portuguese Powerboat Federation
continued with its expansion policy and
witnessed an increase in the number of pilots
participating in the various classes, thanks
initially to Formula Future.
The national calendar was entirely fulfilled in nine
regions of the country and was followed by the
municipalities in organising powerboat events,
while circuits were re-established in places
where powerboating had been absent for more
than 20 years.
Thanks to the support of the Instituto do
Desporto de Portugal, the Portuguese
Powerboat Federation acquired four more boat
and engine combinations for Formula Futuro in
order to develop promotional activities all over
the country, in collaboration with affiliate clubs
that work towards increased youth participation
in national competitions.
The year also saw an emotional six-round
National Championship thanks to the highly
competitive level shown by Portuguese pilots,
which also helped contribute to a record number
of participants at international level.
On the international front, Portugal staged four
World Championship events in the shape of F1,
F2000 and two rounds of F4, which were all
technically very professional and received great
praise from the drivers.
Luis Miguel Ribeiro was again crowned S850
National Champion after a duel with runner-up
Pedro Fortuna, another pilot with international
experience.
For the ninth consecutive time, the Town Hall of
Portimão, ExpoArade and Clube Naval de
Portimão staged the opening F1 round. The

Diogo Gonzaga Ribeiro, who started out in
Formula Future, took his third successive PR
750 National Championship title and made his
debut in catamarans piloting an S850 and
confirming his capability by finishing third in the
S850 National Championship.
T 850 and T 750 were two classes re-established
by the Portuguese Powerboat Federation, which
created a spectacle appreciated by an
enthusiastic public.
Powerboat racing initiation saw more than 400

Hall of Vila Real de Santo António supported the
staging of a round of F2000 racing, which drew
a strong international line-up. These two rounds
of high competition – coupled with the presence
of Portuguese pilot Duarte Benavente – brought
great pride to the F.P.M.
Similarly, F4’s development in the country was
assisted thanks to the organisation in
conjunction with the Town Halls of Figueira de
Castelo Rodrigo and Vila Franca de Xira of two
World Championship rounds staged on
successive weekends. The Town Hall of
Portimão and ExpoArade also contributed to the
staging of the final round of the P1 World
Championship.
The co-ordination and involvement of the
Federation as Portugal’s National Authority were
of the highest technical standard, which was
recognised by the UIM in the competition
reports and by Nationals Entities, namely the
official departments of Ministério da Marinha.
