Got a need for speed? Want competition? Are you an adrenaline junkie who wants to fly at warp speed over the water just for the thrill of it? If so, you won't find a better sport than boat racing...
It is a pursuit that rewards nerve and precision in equal measure - hundreds of horsepower, a hull skimming the surface, and margins measured in fractions of a second. Few sports deliver quite the same rush, and fewer still demand as much of the people who chase it.
In a state defined by its lakes and its love of the outdoors, boat racing finds a natural home. For the spectator it is spectacle; for the racer it is something closer to devotion.
