Premiere Racing · Marblehead
The week a superyacht fleet actually races
Peter Craig opened this office in 1996 to run sailboat events. The work now sits on superyacht regattas: the notice, the starts, the shoreside week, and the scoring that has to be finished the same day.
1996 office opened
2 Market Sq Marblehead, MA
Superyacht fleets and series
Sequence
How a regatta week gets built
Fix the paper
Notice of race, sailing instructions, and a course menu that can move without a rewrite.
Run the water
Line, sequence, and a plain postpone or abandon when the sea state stops being racing.
Close the scores
Finishes recorded and checked before people leave the dock for the evening.
On the calendar
Two programs this office still runs
These are not sample sketches. They are the association and the regatta the Marblehead desk is responsible for.
St. Barths Bucket
Premiere Racing manages this superyacht regatta: the promotion, the sponsorships, the shoreside program, and the racing itself. It is the week the office is built around.
SuperYacht Racing Association
The same desk runs SYRA. Peter Craig is its executive director. The association is where the big-yacht fleet keeps a common way of racing, instead of inventing the rules again each winter.
The Marblehead address
Documents and planning sit at 2 Market Square. The race team goes to the regatta. The phone number on this site reaches Peter, not a separate booking desk.
What the office takes
Event management, the racing, and the advice before either
Sailing event management
Promotion, sponsors, and the shoreside week, tied to a race schedule the fleet can actually sail.
Race management
Courses, the start line, postponements, and a results sheet that is checked before prizegiving.
Consulting
A written pass on how a series should be built, before the notice of race is treated as final.
How a week is taken
Three ways the desk can sit in a regatta
The full regatta
Promotion, sponsorship, shoreside, and the racing. This is the shape of the St. Barths Bucket.
Racing on a host event
Someone else owns the party. This desk writes the sailing instructions and calls the starts.
Advice before the notice
A consulting brief on ratings, time limits, and how a guest program fits a start sequence.
