fleet racing

Fleet racing is a common type of sailing competition where multiple boats race against each other on a course, following specific rules. The goal is to complete the course faster than the other boats, navigating through designated marks or buoys. Races typically consist of several laps and start with a clear signal. Sailors must work to optimize speed, tactics, and boat handling while obeying sailing rules. The boat that crosses the finish line first after all laps win the race. Fleet racing emphasizes skill, strategy, and teamwork in a competitive, fleet-based setting.
