THE TRACK Sprint boat tracks are man-made courses approximately 14 feet wide that hold 3 to 4 feet of water. The driver and navigator have to race against the clock as they maneuver through the watery course built around a maze of islands. The Port Angeles track is designed to be the fastest in the sprint boat circuit, allowing speeds up to 100 miles per hour in some spots. While there is only one track, there are different course routes. The driver and navigator are given a map the night before the race, which shows the route they have to take. They have to memorize the course, which they’ll be traveling through at 90 miles per hour. They do not get to practice before the qualification runs. The driver must rely on the navigator, who communicates directions through hand signals. Mere seconds and accuracy count!
