Can i underline ones again that the first rule in team racing, as robi also said, is NOT to foul your team mate.

It is always better to steer around him (or her) then foul him. Who needs to give way is easily determined by looking who is clear ahead or when even who is in the most tight spot relative to the competition.

For example; port tack starters should always be left running as they will need all the room and speed to keep clear of the starboard tack starters. When nearing a mark then the guy pinching must be left clear. etc.

I think Robi and I showed a very nice manouvre just minutes ago in team USA vs World. We totally locked up jake and forced him to sheet out his sails and sail below his layline. Don't you think Robi ?
