Full Description
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
