The fastest boat?

[apvte3]

Is this ("The Spirit of Australia") the fastest boat in the world?
Why is so fast?

Why is so fast?

Just guessing but maybe because it is shaped like a jet fighter and probably has an engine with equivalent thrust?

What I want to know is how the drivers of any hydroplane manage to keep the boats from becoming airborne?



Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away...
