laser you asked about these lil boats so here ya go...





Hydroplane marathon river racing is formatted to promote head to head racing. It has been changed from its original format, which allowed for head on racing following a turn around. NOW each race is broken up into legs. A leg consists of one length of the river from the starting point to the turn around point. A SWEEP boat follows the boats on each leg to clear the course for the next leg. The start of the Race is a draw from a hat. Each successive leg after the start is by Order of Finish from the Previous leg. Each Racer is awarded points for each leg determined by finish order. One for first,, two for second, and so on. The winner is then determined by low score after all legs are totaled. Points ties are won by the Racer who finishes first on the last leg of the Race.
