 2016 jet boat marathon sponsored by ITM and design windows today we're looking at doing the criterion which is about a 30k run one boat at a time because it'll take some time for the 30 boats to get through here but what this does is give them the seating for tomorrow this marathon 650k is a racing over seven days this course is the same course as what they're gonna do next year for the world so there's some great rivers in here you know you've got the YA you've got the Y-Mac, you've got the Rekai, you've got the Y-Taki and the Clutha the big turbine boats will really perform there and of course we've got the Dart, the Clutha and the Matuki and then you do the shut-over and the shut-overs where all those jet boat tour operators operate they shut it down and it's extremely exciting very narrow and of course overseas competitors is what we're hoping for next year yeah they set the course up this year to mirror what they're gonna do next year for the world championships and my father and I came over from the States and we're gonna look at all the rivers here and hopefully have a great week today's the Hamilton Jet Criterium on the Y-Mac about a 30k lap and this is the seating positions for the boat already the second boat out which is an FS boat run aground now you wouldn't expect an FX boat which is a light boat controlled class engine to run aground but he did so hey he's up against the clock is ready and normally classes like CX and FX they race for days and they'll be seconds or minutes apart pretty short days racing on the Y-Mac because hey but guys are pretty nervous when they give me a boat they may not have been in them for a while it's 32k circuit racing one at a time it's not what they normally race but hey we've got some great results today we've got Jason Young of course and the CX boat he's our current world champion out of America and just won a world champion very fast boat you've got Aaron Morrison and his A-Class boat but believe it or not I think the turbine's got licked today by a twin turbocharged Nissan and that was of course Ben Baxter's boat today suited the twin turbocharged boat it's a shorter boat a lot more power people a lot power to weight ratio and acceleration out of the corners that boats hard to beat on a short course like that it's suited for tight stuff we don't like big rivers but out there was pretty much perfect for us what about tomorrow tomorrow it's probably I think we'll work out of pretty good that's no rumors
