Canadian Boating Federation

Our History

The federation's role in protecting and recognizing Canadian powerboat racing.

Federation

Built around safety, rules and recognition.

CBFNC exists as a governing authority rather than a promotional organization.

Its mission is to uphold and protect boat-racing safety, maintain strong general and divisional rules, support insurance compliance for member clubs, and recognize the achievements of drivers, teams and contributors.

National governance

CBFNC acts as Canada's national governing body for powerboat racing.

International recognition

The federation is a registered member of the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM).

Championships and records

The federation provides the recognized pathway for Canadian national, North American and world-level wins and records.

Racing Heritage

More than a century of Canadian regattas.

Canadian powerboat racing history predates the federation itself. The current CBFNC archive documents the Rideau Ferry Regatta beginning in 1897 and preserves stories, records and Hall of Fame achievements from across the sport.
