        The topic of scoring teams of boats (teams of 3 boats has been suggested) has come up again. An objective is to provide a format so that some of the better racers will tutor the less skilled racers by grouping, say, 3 boats of mixed skill levels within a team. Another objective is to add another measure of fun to the racing. However, competing as teams within a fleet racing format poses severe challenges from RRS fundemental rule 2.

        So, this topic is open to explore the subject and solicit ideas from the fleet. Login to add your voice to the discussion.

          One option that avoids the Rule 2 problems is for teams consisting of: one Etchells (Tuesday race), one J-24 (Wednesday race), one PHRF (Thursday race), and maybe one dinghy (Monday race). Maybe allow a 3-boat team to be selected from 3 of the 4 race days. Team scores would be compiled for each week’s racing to determine weekly winners.
