The Jet was built by Jack Kenner in the late 1950s, is of timber construction and is still in excellent original un-restored running condition.

The Jet holds at least 27 records, 18 of which were set in one season.

The highly modified Renault 50 c.i. 750 cc 4 cylinder engine, running with compression ratio 13 to 1, has twin Amal carburettors and a homemade progressive fuel injection system which allows the engine to peak just under 7000 R.P.M.

This boat was built, owned and raced by Jack Kenner. In 1958 a boat by the name of Atom running a 75 c.i. Austin A40 engine held many of the records that The Jet broke with its 50 c.i. motor in 1959 through to the early 1960’s.

The Jet also set speed records in 1970. Many of these records are current and unlikely to ever be broken.
