For anyone needing a measurement certificate for the 2026 Season, the process is straightforward and convenient.
You can download the necessary form online. Once completed and signed, the form should be sent to the CPA along with the required payment.
The fee for a measurement certificate is £10, which applies to new certificates, renewals, replacements for lost or damaged certificates, as well as changes in ownership.
It's important to note that measurement forms are valid for a decade, after which renewal is necessary.
Ensure all details are accurate to avoid any delays in receiving your certificate.
As we prepare for the exhilarating 2026 Circuit Powerboat Association (CPA) Powerboat Racing season, it's crucial to ensure that all enthusiasts and competitors have their paperwork in order.
The 2026 CPA Licence Application is now available for download, and you can find it at [this link](https://ukcircuitracing.com/.../2026-CPA-Licence...).
To avoid any last-minute hurdles, it's advisable to submit your applications well in advance, ensuring they are processed in a timely manner.
This proactive approach will allow you to focus on the excitement and preparation for the races ahead.

Pre-season Training
It was great to see a fantastic turnout from our rescue team for their annual pre-season training and recovery practice that took place at the Phoenix Pool in Bradwell at the weekend.
This year, and in addition to the divers carrying out safety cell extraction familiarisation there was specific focus on wet driver awareness training for our rescue boat crews. This was very well received by all who took part and the clubs thanks go to Mike Wray for creating the syllabus for the evening. Our appreciation also goes to the Osprey Rescue guys for the use of the dunk rig.
This training is a critical part of the clubs race season preparation and as always gives our own rescue team the ability to train to the very highest standards in conjunction with the members of Rapid Response & Osprey Rescue crews.
It was very good to see our GT30 competitor Tom Thwaites undertaking his immersion test ready for a possible step up in what he races for 2026.
Well done and thank-you to everyone involved, you really are a great, professional bunch
Please take a look at a really good set of photos taken at the event by our own Bob Girling - thanks Bob
