There are several types of racing sailboats.  These are classed as smaller sailboats for match racing and racing yachts.

Smaller racing sailboats are used for match racing.  A sailboat match race is a race between two sailboats.  Match races are also referred to as a regatta with two sailboats racing on a defined course.

Racing yachts are large sailing yachts designed for competitive racing on a set course.  The most famous yacht race of these races is the America’s Cup.
