Premiere Racing, Inc.
Premiere
Racing, Inc. was founded March 14, 1996 by Peter S. Craig. The offices are in
Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA. Premiere Racing’s primary business is the management of sailboat regattas. Currently involved in two major events: the January international regatta at Key West, Florida and and Miami Race Week, which was recently been turned over to Premiere Racing by the founding yacht clubs. Formerly known as the SORC it will be an annual March event. Premiere Racing has also been contracted to manage other special events such as the Chesapeake stopover of the Volvo Ocean Race, the 1D48 Newport-New York Series, the Drumbeat Regatta and other one-design regattas. Management of Block Island Race Week, a major regional event at Block Island, Rhode Island and North Sails Race Week, a major west coast regional regatta co-managed with Golison & Golison has been discountinued. Peter Craig, President of Premiere Racing, managed the on-water portion of Yachting Key West Race Week in the capacity of Race Director between 1994 and 1996. He was contracted by Yachting Magazine to manage the on-water portion of their other racing events during that time frame: Whidbey Island Race Week, Solomons Island Race Week, Key Biscayne Race Week and the San Diego Regatta. Yachting Magazine has since discontinued these four events and is no longer involved in the Key West one. In 1997 Premiere Racing took over management of all aspects of the Key West event, including shoreside activities, sponsorships, on-water and fiscal responsibilities. During this seven year period the event has experienced dramatic growth and established itself as the premier annual sailing regatta in the United States and one of the very top events worldwide. Craig served as Director of Operations for the America3 Foundation and prior to that was Deputy Director of US SAILING, the national governing body of the sport. He is an accomplished racer, whose sailing resume includes crewing on the successful America’s Cup defender in 1992 and two maxi-boat world championships. A 1978 graduate of the US Naval Academy, Craig has been active in the sport of sailing for over thirty years. He lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts with his wife Tricia and their three children.
