racer chaser
 n.— «What Cowes does have lots of is yachty totty, or “racer chasers,” as the sailors call them. All the girls love a sailor, and there are plenty of them here; 70 per cent of the 1,000 or so crew members this week are male. Not that the sailors seem too bothered by the attention.» —“ Cowes Week: Where chavs are all at sea” by Bryony Gordon Telegraph (United Kingdom) Aug. 10, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
