Premiere Racing
A multi-day superyacht series
Daily owner briefing, a course that can move with the breeze, starts that do not burn an hour, and results posted before the dock party.
Marblehead race office
Race management for superyachts that expect a clean start
Premiere Racing writes the documents, sets the course, and calls the races. The desk has been in Marblehead since Peter Craig opened it in 1996, with the work aimed at superyacht fleets.

Superyacht series and regattas
The weeks we are hired for
Series we are built to run
These are the shapes of work, not a list of client names. If your week looks like one of them, the desk already knows the sequence.
A classic or spirit-of-tradition regatta
The fleet is mixed, the time limit matters, and the sailing instructions have to be readable on deck without a lawyer.
A pursuit or a short match
One start sequence carries the whole afternoon. The rating, the line, and the abandon call are the product.
What the desk actually does
The work between the notice of race and the prizegiving
Superyacht starts
Line, course, and the sequence. Postponements and abandonments called in plain language the afterguard can hear.
Race documents
Notice of race, sailing instructions, and amendments written so a navigator can use them without a second meeting.
Owner briefings
A short briefing before the first start: course options, time limits, and what happens if the breeze dies.
Scoring the same day
Finishes recorded, results checked, and a sheet the prizegiving can trust before people leave the dock.
Sequence
How a superyacht series actually gets called
Read the fleet
Boat count, ratings, guest program, and the hours the harbor will actually give you.
Write what sailors use
Notice, instructions, and a course menu that can change without rewriting the week.
Call it on the water
Starts, marks, and the postpone or abandon when the sea state stops being racing.
Close the day
Finishes, a checked sheet, and a note for the next morning’s briefing.
On the record
Figures the desk will actually stand behind
Opened in 1996
Peter Craig set the race office up in Marblehead that year.
2 Market Square
The desk is still at that address. The team travels to the regatta.
Superyacht weeks
Documents, starts, and scoring written for large-yacht fleets.
One callback
Leave a number. Peter dials it. There is no second desk.
Tell us the series and the week it sails
Leave a phone number. Peter calls back and you can say whether you need the full desk or only the starts.
