The Wanganui Motor Boat Club will host the River City 3000, North Island Procom, King of the River and Matt Morrison Memorial Downtown Wanganui on 2nd February 2008 in conjunction with the NZGP Regatta held the same weekend. There will be class racing made available for you on the Sunday as well.

Log Boom
The NZGP Club had a log boom made for the river last season. Fortunately the tides where excellent and we did not need to use the Boom. The tides we have for this event are even better that last season so other than bad weather we expect the river to be in top condition.
