There are 2 people on the boat. One of them has a map. > **[Jetsprint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetsprint)** > > Jetsprint or sprint boat racing is a form of racing sport in which jetboats, with a crew of two, race individually against the clock through a twisting series of channels in less than a metre of water. Tracks are typically designed for spectators, and racing is fast and loud, with boat motors usually powered by V8s developing well over 500 hp. ---
