Información / Information about Racing Cruiser
Modern sailing boats are divided into racing and cruising classes. The former is capable of high speeds, offering inhabitants a very ascetic living environment. Cruise yachts, on the contrary, are filled with conveniences, but at the same time, they are heavy and clumsy and suitable only for unpretentious amateur races. So, what to choose if you want both high speed and conveniences in one place? To satisfy customers, many boat builders rushed into this task, and a new hybrid type of boat was born, which is commonly referred to as a "Racing Cruiser". They may differ from the purely cruising ones by the size of the superstructure, lighter design of interiors, deck equipment, the material of spars and, of course, the sailing wardrobe. Carbon is often used as a basic material for making the mast and spars, and Kevlar is used for the sails.
