Racer/Cruiser boats
A Racing Sailing Yacht, also called a cruiser/racer, is considered a hybrid vessel because it can accommodate overnight cruising but is trimmed with the equipment for competitive racing. Usually 35–50 feet in length, it’s relatively light in weight. The deck is easy to get around when either cruising or racing. Cruising amenities such as dodgers, biminis, and cockpit tables usually can be removed so they won’t interfere with racing handling and maneuvers.
How are Racing Sailing Yachts built?
Most Sailing Racing Yachts are monohulls, with newer hulls made of fiberglass, carbon fiber and older ones including ferrocement, aluminium, steel and cedar. Some multihulls also can be found, especially among owners focused more on speed. Moderate or light displacement hulls, as well as planing hulls, are most common. Foiling vessels also have become popular. They use foils below the hull work - much like an airplane wing does in the air - lifting the boat's hull up above the water when traveling fast, so reducing drag and increasing speed.
What type of engines power Racing Sailing Yachts?
Racing Sailing Yachts get most of their power from the use of the sails. Nearly all have at least and auxiliary engine to power motion, as well as to charge batteries, etc. Sails that have been mostly made of dacron the past 20 years or so are being replaced by carbon fiber sails.
What optional equipment is available for Racing Yachts?
Whether cruising or racing, navigation equipment and weather-routing are popular items for Racing Sailing Yachts. There are also solar panels and wind generators that can help provide electricity on the vessel. Doubling up on spinnaker and jib halyards can be good for either cruising or racing.
