In last week’s OffShoreOnly.com column (“Anticipating One Hot Offshore Racing Season”), I highlighted a variety of reasons why the upcoming offshore racing season could turn out to be one of the best in a long time. The same could be said for many of the other boat racing classes, including the fastest boats on water—the Unlimited hydroplanes that race under the H1 Unlimited organization.
