Development started in
the sport of motor boats (automatic) from the beginning of the twentieth
century; the first race of the sport was in 1904 in the Principality of Monaco.
Achievement in this kind of sport depends on the quality of the boat and the
engine together.
World Championship F1 powerboat racing began in 1981, organized and
sponsored by the International Federation of power boats; its sports
competition represents the spirit of competition and fun watching the strength
of the boats. Mr. Nicolo di San Jbermano, Union President, talked about these
races, saying he has every year three million viewers who go to competition
sites to watch them on the ground, along with more than 15 billion viewers in
front of TV screens. Some Chinese cities in the east of the country, such as
Hantcho, Wuxi, Xiamen and Shanghai have hosted such Chinese subsidiary
competitions of the World Championship races in recent years, and entered this
competition for the first time this year to China's western region. Locations
were filled with viewers seats, and after the end of competitions, many of the viewers
said that although they do not know well the rules of competitions, the
high-speed boats and enthusiasm encouraged them a lot, which made them like
this sporting activity in their hearts.
These are some models
and brands of jet boats:
·
Chaparral Boats
·
Duckworth Boats
·
Glastron Northwest
Boats
·
Scarab Boats
·
Weldcraft Marine
·
Yamaha Boats
Boats divided into the
following categories:
1-
Specific weight and boats
engines power such like: 250, 350, 500, 900, 1200 CC. The prices of these boats
vary depending on the boat engine power, which means the more the cc’s for the
engine the higher the price is.
2-
Boats with an external
surface. And even classified as 100, 200, 300, 400… 1000 cm 3 with a
compressor. Categories 700 and 1000 cm 3 without compressor and these boats
distinct race engines designed completely free.
3-
Category must use moderate sequential engines. They must be symmetrical
and use the normal fuel.
4-
Boats with stick-engine on
the outside of the mechanism. And its ability 350, 500 and 600 cc. These boats
are subject to the rules of the boats with the outer surface and there are no
special controls.
5-
Boats European categories
910, 1300, 2000, 3000, 4500, 7000 and above 7000 cc prevent the use of
compressors in these boats, and determines the number of seats to sit where.
6-
Tourist boats. A variety of
external surface and categories 500 and 700, 850 and 1000, 1500, 3000 cm 3, and
internal surface up to 1000, 1300, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 7000 cm 3 and the
tourist boats international controls determine the length, width and depth of
the lower part of immersion of the boat, and the minimum mass and the number of
persons involved in the navigation.
The mariners who drive these boats wear white
clothing and a helmet for the head and a protective belt of the kidneys, solid
and stable, in addition to the air-filled jacket (life jacket).
A stream vessel's
impetus framework, just about totally encased inside the body, draws water from
underneath the pontoon into a pump spun by the motor and dislodges it through a
spout. That gives push that moves, and when controlled from side to side, controls
the pontoon.
That is the specialized
stuff. What a plane pontoon does, however, is jump onto plane and zoom over a
lake, altering course instant.. In short, fly pontoons make sculling an impact.
Plane watercrafts cast
out water over the waterline — nothing juts underneath the structure — so the
pontoons can run on plane in less water. Gracious and how they run! While the
smallest plane pontoons — individual watercraft — are in their own particular
classification, a large portion of today's plane vessels look and perform like
bow riders, with their liberal seating, swim stages and the exciting mobility
of plane
These are some of the
rules of the jet boating races
·
All racers must have a Boat
Operators License from their individual state or region.
·
All racers must have a

·
Shut toe shoes must be worn
in the hot pit region by members.
·
The upper fifty percent of
the cap must be a robust color of orange, global orange, yellow, fluorescent
red or fluorescent yellow/lime green. Green caps are not lawful. The wearer is
altogether in charge of the productivity of their cap.
·
All race numbers must be 24
cm x 4 cm white on dark, dark on white or firmly differentiating color with 4
cm fringe.
·
All pivoting parts must be

Winning points in the
sport boats are calculated as follows:
1-
400 points.
2-
300 points.
3-
225 points.
4-
169 points.
5-
127 points.
6-
95 points.
7-
71 points.
8-
53 points.
9-
40 points.
10- 30 points.
11- 22 points.
12- 17 points.
The race is repeated
several times, according to the quality of the competition in terms of being local,
regional or global, male or female. The winner gets more points, while a draw
to win comes from the beginning of the race until the end.
A customary screw propeller lives up to expectations inside the waterway
underneath a pontoon structure, viably "screwing" through the water
to drive a vessel forward by creating a distinction in weight between the
forward and back surfaces of the propeller cutting edges and by quickening a
mass of water rearward. By differentiation, a waterjet unit conveys a
high-weight "push" from the stern of a vessel by quickening a volume
of water as it passes through a particular pump mounted over the waterline
inside the pontoon body. Both strategies yield push because of Newton's third
law— each activity has an equivalent and inverse response.
In a jetboat, the waterjet draws water from underneath the frame, where it
passes through an arrangement of impellers and stators - known as stages -
which build the speed of the waterflow. Most present day planes are
single-stage, while more seasoned waterjets may have upwards of three stages.
The tail area of the waterjet unit reaches out through the transom of the body,
over the waterline. This jetstream retreats the unit through a little spout at
high speed to push the watercraft forward. Directing is proficient by moving
this spout to either side, or less usually, by little entryways on either side
that divert the jetstream. Since the jetboat depends on the stream of water
through the spout for control, it is impractical to guide a routine jetboat without
the motor running.
Not at all like routine propeller frameworks where the pivot of the
propeller is switched to give toward the back development, a waterjet will keep
on pumping regularly while a redirector is brought down into the jetstream
after it leaves the outlet spout. This redirector redirects push drives forward
to give converse push. Most exceptionally created opposite redirectors redirect
the jetstream down and to each one side to anticipate recirculation of the
water through the plane once more, which may cause air circulation issues, or
expand converse push. Directing is still accessible with the converse diverter
brought down so the vessel will have full mobility. With the redirector brought
down about partially into the jetstream, forward and converse push are
equivalent so the pontoon keeps up an altered position, however controlling is
still accessible to permit the vessel to turn on the spot - something which is
inconceivable with a routine single propeller.
Not at all like hydrofoils, which utilize submerged wings or struts to
lift the vessel clear of the water, standard jetboats utilize a customary
planing frame to ride over the water surface, with just the back bit of the
body dislodging any water. With most of the frame clear of the water, there is
lessened drag, enormously improving speed and mobility, so jetboats are
typically worked at planing velocity. At slower speeds with less water pumping
through the plane unit, the jetboat will lose some directing control and
mobility and will rapidly ease off as the body gets over its planing state and
frame safety is expanded. Notwithstanding, loss of directing control at low
speeds can be overcome by bringing down the converse redirector marginally and
expanding throttle - so you expand push and accordingly control without
expanding watercraft speed itself. A traditional stream going jetboat will have
a shallow-calculated (however not level bottomed) frame to enhance its rapid
cornering control and dependability, while likewise permitting it to navigate
exceptionally shallow water. At pace, jetboats can be securely worked in under
7.5 cm (3 inches) of water.
UAE believes in the importance of entertainment which renews activity,
and sports one of
the most important leisure activities practiced by the people of the UAE since ancient times. The state is keen on providing the necessary support to activate the sports movement, by construction of many modern sports facilities. For example,
Abu Dhabi are hosting the World
Championship Powerboat (Formula
1) since 1993. In
addition, Thani Alqamzi, star
team of Abu Dhabi, the most
famous drivers racing boats in the UAE, has
won the third position in Formula 1, which has
residence in Finland in 2008.
