Yacht Racing is a competitive sport involving the racing of sailing yachts. Participants navigate their vessels against each other on various courses, which can occur in various water settings such as oceans, lakes, or rivers. Races can take different forms, including fleet racing, where multiple boats start together and race to a designated finish line, and match racing, where two yachts compete directly against each other. Yacht racing can be governed by specific rules and regulations, often set by organizations such as World Sailing. The sport has various classes of yachts based on size, design, and performance characteristics. It encompasses different events, from informal club races to prestigious international competitions like the America’s Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race.
