About this title

Synopsis

Team Racing is a sailing match between two teams with 3 boats in each team.  It is a sport in its own right, is fun, and is an excellent way to improve your boathandling and tactics in other forms of racing.  The tactics are very interesting €“ rather like chess at sea.  The manoeuvres are fierce.This book describes those tactics and the way the rules influence those tactics.  This second edition fully updates to take into account the new 2001-2004 rules

From the Back Cover

Whether you race with two, three or four boats per team, in dinghies or keelboats, this manual will help you win.  It covers:

• The language of team racing: winning combinations, race focus, stable/unstable positions
• Team strategy and tactics
• Team skills eg starting, stopping at marks, converting to a better combination
• The individual skills you need
• Positioning and windshadow control
• How umpiring work

This second edition has been completely revised for the 2001-2005 Rules, there are more pages, photos have been added, new sections show how to organise your team strategy, and key manoeuvres are covered in much greater depth.
