It’s been said that anytime there’s more than one sailboat on a body of water, a race is in progress. This notion probably reveals more about human nature than it does about sailors, but when you consider that the soul of racing stems from the inclination to optimize a sailing vessel’s performance, there’s an undeniable element of truth to the matter. That’s why SailNet has put together its new Racing Collection—a compendium of information and entertainment to help you get more out of your boat.
For performance-minded sailors everywhere, SailNet’s new Racing Collection offers articles and commentary intended to give you a better idea of what’s going on out on the water, which will enhance your enjoyment of sailing by helping you achieve better performance. After all, isn’t your time spent on board meant to be fun?
Of course the great thing about sailboat racing is its versatility. You can race by yourself, or aboard a boat with a passel of friends. You can compete in a lumbering, decades-old design, or zip across the racecourse aboard an ultra-light craft that’ll barely support you when at rest. You can race around the buoys in the sanctuary of your home waters or go point-to-point across an ocean in a distance event. You can sail against competitors in identical craft, or you can compete under a handicapping format against boats of all shapes and sizes. And anyone of almost any age can participate. SailNet.com celebrates the sport’s unique diversity in its new Racing Collection with articles and information for sailors of every level.
To get to the Racing Collection, simply click on Racing on the menu under Main Areas on the upper left-hand border of the homepage, and you’ll be good to go. So dig in and see what’s there. Then you’ll be ready to go out and start racing.
