As an ex fighter pilot replied in rec.aviation, "The thrill is avoiding
thrills!" at least in sailboat racing.
I'm not sure why people race power boats, nor what they do with the time
they save.

Good luck,

I have been a little confused, but I now see where I made my mistake.
Whilst doing background research into the group rec.boats.racing it
included the sub group rec.boats.racing.power. Most of articles I read
were about the thrill of powerboat racing. I subsequently posted my
power boat query into rec.boats.racing which I now know is about sail
boat racing.

Again, please accept my apology.

But as my research is still about thrill, sailboat racing is JUST as
interesting. I am revising my question to "what do you find thrilling
about sailboat racing"?

Any comments...
