Season calendar

File:Countries with F1 Powerboat races in 2011.png

There were a total of 10 individual races originally planned for the 2011 season by the UIM, with events in St Petersburg, Nanyang and Haikou alongside the seven that ultimately took place. These included a brand new race in Vyshhorod which was announced on 25 January, bringing F1 powerboats to Ukraine for the first time.{{cite news|title=New Venue Added to 2011 Calendar...|url=http://www.f1h2o.com/post/new-venue-added-to-2011-calendar|work=F1H2O|date=25 January 2011|accessdate=20 October 2012}} However on 12 April it was announced that the planned race in St Petersburg was to be rescheduled for 2012, with the Kazan race moved back a week to avoid a clash with the Class 1 Norwegian Grand Prix.{{cite news|title=Revision to F1H2O calendar|url=http://www.f1h2o.com/post/revision-to-f1h2o-calendar|work=F1H2O|date=12 April 2011|accessdate=20 October 2012}}
