There are not a lot of cruising sailboats out there, unfortunately. So if you haven’t found a sail cruiser that suits you, it is time you looked into cruising/racing sail yachts.
Cruising/racing sail yachts stand right in the middle between the cruising boats and the competitive racing sail vessels. It has all the advantages of both types: you can take it racing or go for a cruise out in the ocean.
The defining feature of these yachts is the speed. Not too overburdened construction and a lot of sails make them fast and easy to handle. However, you shouldn’t call it simple: they are definitely not made for beginners. For the most part, cruising/racing sailboats are equipped with very complex sail systems and take a lot of practice and experience to control.
Naturally, this type of yacht cannot compete with pure racing sailboats, for simple reasons the latter being much lighter. But the cruising/racing sailboats exceed the racing ones in comfort and other capabilities.
There are also some distinctions from the classic sail boats as well: multipurpose yachts are much lighter and faster. They are partly made for racing competitions. It is ideal for multiple day events. Buying this yacht won’t take much effort. The choice is very wide. In order to help you fully grasp understanding of the cruising/racing boat market and pick a suitable model, assistance of a yacht broker is preferable.
