Significance

Australia has developed a strong representation in local and international power craft since motors were introduced to vessels to replace steam in the late 1890s. The EC Griffith Cup (1911) is one the longest established powerboat championships in the world. Australia has set many world speed records in different classes, and has held the outright world speed record since 1987. Individual types of craft have been developed in Australia for the recreational market including the clinker-ski boat of the 1940s to 1960s, and the petrol-motor' putt putt' launch that evolved from the early days of power has given many people an opportunity to enjoy boating activities.
