A Racing Boat Cruiser/Racer is a sailboat designed for sailing in races and cruising comfortably. Boats in this category typically have a shorter keel length, wider beam, and a higher centre of gravity compared to most other cruisers, which makes them more suitable for racing. However, they often feature amenities such as comfortable cabins, galley, and heads, which makes them suitable for cruising. They generally have a wide variety of sail plans to allow them to be easily adjusted for different wind and sea conditions. A Racing Boat Cruiser/Racer’s design is often based on a range of racing rule parameters, and they are usually much lighter and faster than a traditional cruising boat.
