Yacht racing events

Yacht racing is a competitive sport where crews sail boats called yachts around a designated course, often marked by buoys or landmarks. Races are judged on speed, strategy, and navigation, with the goal of completing the course in the shortest time. Common formats include fleet racing, where all boats race together, and match racing, involving head-to-head contests. Conditions like wind, currents, and weather influence tactics. The sport emphasizes skillful handling, teamwork, and strategic decision-making, offering a dynamic challenge for sailors of various skill levels and featuring high-performance vessels from day sailors to advanced racing yachts.
