racing boat

Regatta speed craft

A racing boat is a watercraft designed or modified for competitive speed.

The term covers everything from sleek rowing shells to high-powered motorboats: The racing boat skimmed across the lake at over 100 miles per hour.

Design priorities favor speed over comfort or cargo capacity.
