On 20 November 1977 Ken Warby set the world water speed record piloting his wooden jet-powered boat Spirit of Australia into the history books.

Fastest hydroplane boat in the world. Blazing at speeds of up to 280 kilometres an hour 175 mph. Hier seht ihr die schnellste Gerade wo je gefahren wurde. The majority of the H1 boats are powered by turbine-engines that produce 3000 horsepower allowing the H1 Unlimited hydroplanes to reach speeds of nearly 200 mph producing a massive 60-foot tall 300-foot long wall of water called a.

Warbys home-made wooden hydroplane reached speeds of 46444 kmh breaking the previous ten-year-old record of 45898 kmh held by American Lee Taylor.

Making a very fast boat is arguably even harder than ma. Funded and overseen by Italian Industrialist Achille Castoldi the Arno XI Hydroplane was fitted with a marinised version of the engine from Ferraris Type 375 Grand Prix car and in 1953 this 12-cylinder 4500cc V12 unit with twin superchargers and an output in excess of 600hp powered the Arno XI to 1502mph on Lake Iseo setting a world record for an 800kg boat that remains intact. H1 Unlimited hydroplanes are the fastest racing boats in the world and their races are sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association doing business as H1 Unlimited.

One of the oldest and fastest hydroplanes of the 20th century the Bluebird K7 is considered to be one of the pioneers in the field of speedboats. CNETs Molly Wood meets Alain Thebau. Some of the fastest hydroplane racers in the world roared across Lake Ontario yesterday.

The ideas behind it are taken from Alexander Graham Bell. Bluebird K7 max speed 276 MPH. This boat is an experimental one a Canadian hydrofoil that claims to be the fastest warship ever built.

The Can-Am boats floated low in the water under the weight of their 454-cubic-inch dragster engines. Leider war kein Rückpass möglich ansonsten wäre d. However it is estimated that Warby reached an estimated 300 knots 555 kmh or 34486 mph unofficially at the same location on 20 November 1977.
