What is Team Racing?
The recognised format for the Team Racing World Championship involves racing in two handed dinghies, three a side. The boats are provided by the organisers to ensure that they are evenly matched, and should be of a type that can be sailed effectively without there being a premium on strength or an optimum weight.
The Worlds Team Racing Web site is hosted by Boats Online.
