Abstract
- The article features U.S. restaurateur Rocky Aoki and his sport called offshore powerboat racing, which is known as the sport for rich people. The race from Miami, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas was won by Aoki as a rookie. According to the racer, he prefers the sport because it makes him feel alive and it is good advertising. His interest in backgammon has declined after losing at least 30,000 dollars at tables in 1975.
