		Jet Sprint Boat racing is a form of racing sport in which speed boats, usually carrying a crew of two, powered by water jet propulsion rather than by conventional propellers, race around watercourses consisting of a number of interconnected channels 3 to 5 meters wide with a water depth of 1 meter.
		Originally the races were held in braided rivers using the wide banks to hold the course, however this caused problems for a number of reasons.
		Firstly, the shingle or sediments making up the banks of the course would be shifted by the force of the water jet propelling the boats, chaging the water depth and sometimes even changing the shape of the corners.
