Inshore Racing

Inshore racing refers to competitive sailing that takes place in coastal waters, typically close to shore. It involves yachts or sailing boats racing along a series of marked buoys or courses, often within sight of land. These races can vary in length and conditions but are usually shorter and more tactical than offshore races, which cover longer distances out at sea. Inshore races often showcase skilled maneuvering and strategic decision-making, as sailors must adapt to changing wind and water conditions while competing against others for the fastest time. It's a popular form of yacht racing worldwide, attracting both amateur and professional sailors.
