Unlimited Hydroplane racing is a high-speed motorsport that features powerful boats designed to skim across the water's surface. These boats can reach speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour, making them some of the fastest watercraft in the world. Races typically take place on closed courses, where teams compete for the best time and position. The sport originated in the United States in the early 20th century and has since gained popularity globally. Hydroplane designs are characterized by their lightweight materials and large, aerodynamic hulls, allowing them to lift out of the water and reduce drag during races.
