Team Racing Rules

Team racing involves two teams competing on the same course, with each team typically consisting of two or three boats. The goal is to finish ahead of the opposing team, but the rules emphasize cooperation and strategic maneuvering rather than just individual performance. Teams must follow basic sailing rules, such as avoiding collisions and maintaining clear passage, while also working together to outmaneuver the opposition. Tactics often include blocking opponents or positioning boats to create scoring opportunities. The focus is on skillful, strategic sailing where teamwork and understanding of rules enable teams to outperform their rivals while maintaining fair play.
