Team Racing
|
In Team Racing there are only two opponents, as in match racing,
but each team sails three boats instead of just one. Its low point scoring,
so a winning combination is 10 points or less. Like 3-on-3 basketball,
its not how one individual performs, but whether the team can work together
to create a winning combination.
In fleet racing a general strategy for success is to go fast, go the right direction, and stay away from others. In team racing this would be a losing strategy more often than not. The best strategies in team racing often include slowing down, or even going backwards, usually to slow an opponent so your teammate can pass them. The races are usually sailed on short courses with lots of mark roundings and lead changes, making it far more interesting to watch than either match racing or fleet racing. |
