Racing sailboats are quite special because not all boats are intended to be used in races. The main feature of a racing sailboat is the ability to be fast on the water without taking into consideration other factors such as comfort or consumption. 

Racing sailboats differ in size from small ones operated by just one person to larger yachts reaching over ten meters. The best racing sailboats are designed through composite construction methods as well as Cad/Cam design. Many have incorporated the foiling character. These boats have fouls under their hulls and can rise up on water to gain more speed. 

The best racing sailboats aim to sail at over 50 miles per hour. This is mainly achieved through a minimal interior that allows them to be lighter. As a result, these boats are not very comfortable for voyages and are only used during races. 

A rating system is used to determine the best racing sailboat of 2020. This system takes into account the type of boat, it’s weight and size. Here is a list of the 5 most phenomenal racing boats of 2020:
