Sloop racer

"You can put powerful engines on a sloop racer, but if the chassis doesn't have structural integrity, the whole thing falls apart."

- Jacen Solo

A sloop racer was a type of pleasure craft, presumably designed for racing. These vehicles could have powerful engines and lightly built structural frames, both features that aided speed, but it was necessary to balance the two in order to achieve a viable design.
