Match racing is the greatest show on the water! It is a competition that places two boats, experienced skippers and crews against each other in a great sailing duel, from which there is only one winner. There is no second place. Crews sail against each other in two identically matched boats up to 40 feet in length. Match racing also has its own set of rules, which are subtly different from fleet racing rules. The competition is tremendously exciting to participate in. The crews are aggressive in their strategy and the boats stay close to each other with collisions coming thick and fast. To resolve the inevitable disputes Match Racing uses on-the-water-umpires to hand out ‘instant justice’.
