The Future Of Power-Boat Racing [1908] The Future of powerboat racing 1908. CD Holmes. What is to be the future of power-boat racing? is the question now being asked http://www.lesliefield.com/other_history/1908_future_of_powerboat_racing.htm
Extractions: The Future of Power-Boat Racing C. D. Holmes So, you see it is at best largely a matter of figuring, and figuring victories on paper is not what is wanted. So, I say, let's throw away entirely the old handicap rules and try something new, and here is where I am coming to the point of what I have to say; namely, that class racing will come nearer to solving this problem and producing satisfactory results than any other plan yet devised. The American Power Boat Association, in connection with the Gold Challenge Cup, has made a good move in doing away with all restrictions, save the overall length of boat; but I believe it has gone too far in allowing unlimited freedom with power and placing the length of boat at 40 feet, all of which means at least a $10,000 to $15,000 proposition, which is most too expensive for most of us. It would have seemed to me far better to have limited the power, also the length to 35 feet, and thereby encouraging a greater number. However, this is probably all right for those who have the means. This unlimited power class need not interfere or detract from other championships of limited power; namely, 35 feet, 30 and 25 feet over-all length of hull. The question of power is. perhaps, not quite so easy, but I believe here that the total piston area is sufficient and it is a factor that can be easily determined by the measurer. Now, if a long-stroke engine is any better than a short-stroke engine, this is a point we all want to know; but if a short stroke is best, also what proportion should the stroke be to the diameter in order to produce
