Miss England II : ウィキペディア英語版 | Miss England II
''Miss England II'' was the name of the second of a series of speedboats used by Henry Segrave and Kaye Don to contest world water speed records in the 1920s and 1930s. == Design and construction == ''Miss England II'' was built for Lord Wakefield in 1930, who had obtained a pair of new Rolls-Royce type R V-12 air-racing engines. Mounted aft of the cockpit, they turned a single propeller shaft via a gearbox mounted near the bow. The shaft ran aft below the hull to a twin-bladed screw, first of 11.75 inches diameter and later, in trials, of 9 inches. The stepped hull design was similar to that of the previous ''Miss England''. On ''Miss England II'', the step was separate from the hull, so that with the boat withdrawn from the water it could be unbolted and moved fore or aft to balance the boat for speed. The cockpit accommodated a crew of three, with engineer and mechanic in the left and right seats and driver amidships.
