Zap Cats go to Prestatyn for the first time

Zap Cats go to Prestatyn for the first time

OK, it’s not the coolest holiday destination in the world, but every year we take the kids along to Prestatyn for a weekend of proper British beachfront fun and this year we’ve just discovered it’s the Zap Cat UK National competition the weekend we’re over there!

Being held at Barkby Beach in resort, it’s the first time ever these high-speed inflatable catamarans have come to town to race round the bay. It kicks off on Saturday 24^th July and runs over the weekend from 11:00 to 17:00 each day and entrance to watch is free (mind you, not really sure how they’d be able to cordon off the beach to charge) making it top on list of things to see this summer.

In case, like me, you don’t know what a Zapcat looks like, think one of those racing powerboats, but remember it’s actually a catamaran shape and inflatable! This doesn’t make them sound very solid, but they are incredibly strong and boast superb agility.

My eldest son, who’s 10 and loves all things cars, boats and planes is beside himself with excitement to see the Zap Cat racing, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good weather at the end of July for good weather!
