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,

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...

Go the bar and have a drink ;-)

Never understood the attraction of burning a bunch of gas
to get someplace fast and spend even more money on
marked up booze at a bar when you can be drinking
with good friends on the boat while you're out
sailing to your destination. ;=)

Only assholes or morons with a death wish drink and drive.
ESPECIALLY shipboard.

We have sex with your women while you're still trying to find your way to
the dock.
(By the way, tell them to shave more often......)

I don't know which women you're talking about. The
good ones are out on the water sailing, not hanging around
some tiki bar.
