sailboat race
Wind-powered nautical contest
A sailboat race is a competitive event in which sailing vessels race against each other over a set course, typically marked by buoys.
Races range from casual club regattas to elite international competitions like the America's Cup.
Wind conditions make each race unique, rewarding both tactical skill and seamanship: We watched the sailboat race from the pier.
