The Online Boating and Maritime Exhibition
Any boat can participate in a regatta. A racing sailboat is one conceived and built for competition. A racer-cruiser constitutes a hybrid between competition and recreational models.
Centerboarders, monohulls, catamarans and trimarans are all suitable for regattas or ocean races governed by measurement or handicap rules for different vessel classes.
Racing is all about speed, and speed hates dead weight. Thus, this type of craft does not offer the comfort of a cruising sailboat. Carbon fiber hulls are common and rigging and sails are custom-made of high-tech fabrics. These sails perform better, but wear out more quickly than cruising sails.
Choice will depend on budget, crew size and sea and weather conditions in the areas where the boat will be raced. Production model or one-off, it's up to you to select your preferred weapon for confronting other mariners.
- Performance
- Class competition options
- Expensive
- Increased maintenance
