Sailboat racing

Sailboat racing, one of the most expensive sports in the world, can be between class sailboats - implying that boats which are racing are equal in size and speed - or box sailboats, which means that boats are nearly similar in make and design.

Sailboat racing can range from small dinghies racing with one another as part of the boating community's programme, or multi-million dollar boats racing with each other as a national sporting event. Sailboat racing is a sport where people from all sorts of age groups can participate in and enjoy. Sailing in turbulent sea waters and unexpected storms makes this sport quite risky and demanding.
