...but wait. there's more...



The whole thing is pretty 'entertaining' (in the same way the first video is), but ffwd to about 3:42 and watch two more go into the rocks plus a few rescues (there's a hard grounding at ~2:33). Kind of like watching lemmings... Ouch.

it looks more like a crash-test for sailboats than a race

This is a race that has been an anual event since 1964
Tjörn Runt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The boats that ran aground in the first video did this be their own choosing, they tried to shortcut the course by some meters.

I read that the difference in draft of one of the boat that float over and one that did not was as little as 30 centimeters.
