“Howdy! I’m Humboldt the Hydroplane. I

move at such great speeds that I’m actually

a little bit more like an airplane than a boat!

My hull is designed in a special way to create a

special type of lift that pushes me up out of the water. When I’m moving fast

enough, there are moments when I am completely up out of the water, flying

through the air just above the surface of the water. This reduces the friction, or

stickiness, with the water so I can move even faster with less resistance than a

typical boat experiences. I love to race! Let’s go catch up to your friend!”
