racing yacht
Regatta speed vessel
A racing yacht is a sailboat designed and rigged for competitive speed rather than cruising comfort.
Racing yachts prioritize lightweight hulls, large sail areas, and streamlined profiles over amenities like cabins or storage.
They range from small dinghies to ocean-going vessels used in events like the America's Cup: The racing yacht heeled sharply as it rounded the buoy.
