Powerboats / Hydroplane Racing
Hydroplane racing (also known as hydro racing and boat racing) is
a sport involving racing hydroplanes on lakes and rivers. It is a popular
spectator sport in several countries (at least the U. S., Canada, Australia
and Central Europe), and one of the more commercialized sports.
Jet Sprint Boat racing (also known as Boat racing)
is a form of racing sport where trailerable speed boats, powered by water jet
propulsion rather than by conventional propellers, race around shallow, artificial
watercourses characterized by many tight turns. The racing format is usually
a sequence of time trials.While the Jetboat was invented in New Zealand, this
form of boat racing is becoming more popular in Australasia, and attracts large
crowds to events.
Different types of boat racing:
- Drag boat racing
- Hydroplane racing
- Jet sprint boat racing
- Offshore powerboat racing
