what the THRILL with racing?
I was searching through some past articles trying to answer the above
question and came across someone who wrote this: "Part of racing's thrill is the danger. I believe, though, that wearing a life vest doesn't reduce the thrill any more than wearing a seat belt kills the thrill of driving a race car 200 mph." What things have thrilled you about powerboats? Speed, motion, spray in your face, winning, owning a boat, drinks and parties afterwards… I'm a researcher in England and I'd really like to know about your powerboat related thrills. I'm currently conducting interviews with people about their personal experiences on the web-site www.chromo11.com If you've got something to say on the subject, please visit the site and take an interview. You'll find a set of short, but carefully crafted questions that you can download and answer at your leisure; you'll also be able to read more about the project.

Excuse me, but considering that the discussions (as opposed to the spamming) taking place in this newsgroup are about things like spinnakers, mark roundings, IMS ratings, etc etc, then it would seem that this newsgroup is about SAILBOAT racing. Perhaps there is some new kind of motorboat racing that we don't know about? Please tell us. Otherwise, shut up because you're a moron. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

Fresh Breezes- Doug King Dear Douggy, Charter of this newsgroup is boat racing. Since there is no such thing as a racing sailboat, you should look at: alt.sailing Sticks, strings, and laundry do not a raceboat make............... |

What was the last powerboat race around the world? I must have missed that one. Actually, the newgroup's charter seems to be about boat racing, not sailboat racing specifically. Perhaps someone knows more. OTOH, most of the talk here is about racing sailboats. |

what the THRILL with racing?
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... Brendan |
