What is a Sailboat Race? ...for Non-Sailors

Explaining sailboat racing to non-sailors can be tricky, but I'm trying to make it easier on everyone. This is not a video about the rules, flags, bylaws that create the nuance of sailing tactics. It's just a way to help your non sailing friends understand why you leave work early every Wednesday night with a gloves on. Creepy.

Come find me other places:

Our yacht club just hosted the 2022 Melges 24 World Championship with thirty-one Melges teams racing and all I knew was it made parking harder and slowed down bar service. Thanks for this!
