How do Wyliecats do on the race course?
Wyliecats are very competitive on the race course! All the models of Wyliecats are fast and lively light displacement designs that feel good on the helm. They are also very rewarding boats to the skipper and crew who know how to adjust the rig for maximum efficiency and performance. Wyliecats are particularly strong in short-handed sailing races (1-2 people). In fact, in the San Francisco Bay Area they have dominated single and double-handed races for over a decade. One example of this dominance is the Wyliecat 30s performance in the Singlehanded Farallones Race (a particularly grueling 58 mile open-ocean race). Wyliecat 30s have won overall for the past three years, and have been first in their division every year since 1998, when no Wyliecat 30s entered the race. So, unless you’re really into crew management (and buying a lot of beer and sandwiches), a Wyliecat just might be the boat for you!
