Newbie here with a few questions!

Hi, my name is Alyse, I am very new to the world of sail racing. In fact, I know absolutely nothing about it! However, the company that I work for is lookign to put together a television show featuring yacht racing, and I have a couple of questions:
1. What is a good kind of boat that can comfortably hold a team of 6 people? i.e. how long does it have to be?
2. What is the length of a typical race? What is the length of the shortest race?

If anyone can help me out with this, it is SO greatly appreciated! Or if anyone knows a good website with very, very basic information about yacht racing, I would also appreciate that (most of the sites I went to were for people knowledgable in yacht racing - or the links were broken!) Thank you so much for your help!!
