Can anyone help me with these queries?

1. Do we say "drive a motorboat"?

2. Can we say, "He drives a speedboat at sea", using the preposition 'at'?

3. Or should we say,"He drives a speedboat at the sea"?

4. Can we say,"The funfair was in the field"?

YES, BUT, "The funfair was held in the field," would be better. :)

Thank you for the quick reply.

I have also taken a quick look at your website and bookmarked it for future reference.
