How do they stay on without garters? Little doggie braces (suspenders for our American cousins) that go over the back of the dog ? |

Sailing is boring. You use a hydrofoil to fish?g I guess you are out fishing Marlin or the very elusive Lake Washington Barracuda. Non skiing question/motor boat question from a motorboat newbie: What other boats besides Hydrofoils can go over 100mph/160kph? Cigarette? any others? Ted I thought Feathercraft sea kayaks lean mean fast machines. |

Non skiing question/motor boat question from a motorboat newbie: What other boats besides Hydrofoils can go over 100mph/160kph? Cigarette? any others? Many other hull types. I think the most common recreational hull type for speeds like that are flatbottom. Those are the ones that are low to the water, kinda V'd in the front but flat in the rear under the motor. Hydroplanes are another. They have what appears to be 2 hulls in the front with space in the middle and flat across the back. At speed they probably have 4 sq. in. in the water. Donzi, among others make high performance, and more traditional looking *very* fast boats. The speed ski team I was with in the 70's had a flatbottom that had the woman's world record for speed in the quarter mile. 111mph. At the time the fuel hydroplane record for a quarter mile (without skier) was 203 mph (from a standing start!). The flatbottom record at the time was 165 I think. Many of the ski race boats, flatbottoms and daycruisers (18-20 footers) maintained 90-100 mph for water ski races from anywhere from 5 to 100 miles. Maybe sailing in 30 foot seas or something could give me that kind of rush, I don't know. pigo |

I may be incorrect, but I think hydroplanes are a different beast altogether. Oh wait, I see what you are talking about. A hydro like Miss Budweiser ( http://www.missbudweiser.com/ ). Cat hulls are somewhat popular in offshore racing, but I think deep v's are more so. A deep v hull is the top photo at http://www.eastcoastattractions.com/offshore.htm and a catamaran hull is in the pic underneath it. I went to the drag boat races in Phoenix once. That was pretty cool. 180mph on water in a quarter mile.

A deep v hull is the top photo at http://www.eastcoastattractions.com/offshore.htm and a catamaran hull is in the pic underneath it. Miss Bud is one type (size) of hydro. The size and general look of the dragboat kind are also sold for recreation. I went to the drag boat races in Phoenix once. That was pretty cool. 180mph on water in a quarter mile. More info at http://www.ihbaracing.com/ I think the record for blown fuel hydro (the fastest drag boat class) is in the 230 range. The 203 that I saw set was in about 1975. The 111 that my friend set on a ski was about the same time, behind a gas flatbottom. Both at Long Beach. pigo |
