cigarette boat

Sleek offshore racer

A cigarette boat is a long, narrow speedboat with a pointed bow, built for high speeds.

The sleek design originated in offshore powerboat racing.

The name comes from a famous racing boat called "The Cigarette," though the vessels became associated with drug smuggling in the 1980s: The cigarette boat outran the Coast Guard cutters.
