The ISAF website has the call book available for download and also the team racing appendix. Main difference is scoring system and tatics. No reason you couldn't team race using the normal RRS, they aren't very different anyway. Jon Emmet did a series of articles on Team Racing in Y&Y check it out in teh subscriber's section of this site.
Suggest you just get on and organise an event on short courses and learn as you go along. ------------- Garry Lark 2252, Contender 298 www.cuckoos.eclipse.co.uk |

Team racing rules are here: http://www.sailing.org/RRS2005/Appendices%20D%20-%20G.pdf - http://www.sailing.org/RRS2005/Appendices%20D%20-%20G.pdf Been a while since I've done any team racing, but I do recall that one big difference is that you can sail people beyond the leeward mark. |
