Bow-pair refers to seats two and one. BUMP - A very crazy race they do only in England. It is what happens when your race course isn't wide enough for more than one lane.

Extractions: Displacements These boats are probably the easiest to relate to for the public. Displacements are, from a distance, the closest resemblence to your average water ski boat. With the engine mounted "inboard", usually at the rear of the boat. The term "displacement" is derived from the the action of the boat "displacing" (pushing the water out of the way) the water as it moves through the water. Displacement classes range from 3.4 litre skiffs all the way up to the monstorous Blown Alcohol Displacements. top Hydroplanes Hydroplanes could be described as the "open wheelers' of boat racing. These boats are specifically are designed to go fast! They do not particularly have any other purpose. Hydroplanes are designed to ride on a cusion of air. The sponsons on either side of the boat create an air trap under the main portion of the boat. As the air is trapped under the boat, the resulting pressure effectively lifts the boat out of the water, causing teh boat to "plane" on top for the water. This style of boats are very spectacular to watch as they dance over the waves. Hydroplane classes range from 1.6 litre restricted up to the supercharged Grand Prix Hydroplanes. There is also the class of Unlimited Hydroplane which include such powerplants as Rolls Royce Merlin engines and in the past has included Jet Turbines.
