Different sort of boat than what you guys are talking about -- but the
town where I went to high school, Lakeland Florida, had speed boat
racing on one of the larger lakes there (Lake Hollingsworth).  Those
things were pretty scary -- sounded not too much unlike the mosquitoes in
Canada :-}}   I've seen some of the wrecks on newsreels from that type
of racing, but never saw it in person. Sometimes for no visible reason,
the boat just leaves the water and becomes airborne.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Berliner Ballen  (Berlin Bales)
 Categories: German, Baking
      Yield: 1 Recipe
 
    250 g  Butter
      3    Eggs
    125 g  Sugar
    200 g  Flour
    1/2    Lemon; the grated rind
      1 c  Milk; lukewarm
     35 g  (or 1/7 more) yeast
 
  Crumble the yeast into the lukewarm milk, add sugar and wait a few
  minutes.
  
  Melt the butter, beat the eggs. Add butter and eggs to the yeasty
  milk, stir well. Gradually add the flour on beating the dough. Beat
  the dough until it does no more stick to the spoon. Let the dough
  slowly rise. Roll it out to a little less than finger-thickness. Cut
  into circles with a turned glass or cup. Give a little heap of jam in
  the middle of every second circle, moisten the rims with a little
  water, top the jam-circles with those without jam and press all flat
  parts firmly together. Do not press where the jam is.
  
  Place the Berliner Ballen one besides the other in a warm place to
  rise, cover them with a kitchen cloth.
  
  Heat the fat and bake 3-4 Berliner at one time. Do not forget to turn
  them on baking. They are done when top and bottom are light-brown and
  the sides yellow. Drain well.
  
  Dust each Berliner with granulated sugar or with powdered sugar.
  
  Or glaze each top but not the sides or the bottom.
