yacht race

Maritime speed contest

A yacht race is a competitive sailing event in which yachts navigate a course, typically around markers or between designated points.

Races range from casual club regattas to prestigious international competitions like the America's Cup.

The yacht race starts at noon.

The term sometimes appears figuratively for competitions among the wealthy.
