Hanseatic Ski Race Kings Lynn
5 Aug 2015
For the first time ever we are staging Formula 1,2 and 3 water ski racing in the Historic
Maritime Quarter of Kings Lynn. Ready to rival the Diamond Race which is a world
renowned water ski race in Belgium, close to the Henseatic town of Antwerp this event will
be of a high octane nature with racing speeds of close to 100mph. Watch from the banks of
the Ouse whilst competitors race across the choppy water surface. We hope this will be an
unforgettable experience and one to continue for years to come.
