The Teams racing results were VERY close, which shows that everyone is in with a chance.  It is interesting to note some of that tactics used on the day:

"Basking Shark Technique" - Sit in the middle of the course in your kart with your arms behind your head - tactic 1 - make out there is no wind and get the race called off.  When that doesn't work, tactic 2 - start sailing again and weave in and out of the other team (showing your greater speed) and claiming "right of way", and freaking the sailor out or forcing them into making a mistake (Nice one ORCA). Or is it "Basking ORCA"

"Blowfly Technique" - (or is it honey bee?) - sail in formation at the start and
crowd out the other team - problem is it only works when you get to the start line
first (was that a S'hooters "team talk" idea?)

"Kamakaze technique" - sail directly at a member of the opposite team and see if they remember the port to port rule, or even which side is port - more of a concern is if you think the perpetrator even knows the answer, and a big worry when the person concerned last failed to give way to the container!  Years of playing "Chicken" at school helps here!

 "Bus Technique" - capitalise on your weight and lack of speed and slowly round the mark making sure you sail any of the competitors (legally) off wide and into the grass, as this really slows them down - and let your team through on the inside (this was the most popular and effective manouver of the day!)

"Fake blow-out" - sends karters skittling to avoid the stranded sailor (but a etter method than capsizing your kart needs to be worked out)

"Bluffing" - call "starboard" at every opportunity in the hope that you might scare someone into believing you

"Rubber necking" - preferably with a loosely fastened helmet so the the competitor following is more concerned about having to dodge a loose helmet than sailing the course so your team mate can get past.

But fun aside, it is a tribute to all the sailors for the good sportmanship shown on the day.  Moreover, what a fantastic showing from the newbies - Lucy first across the start and holding off stiff competition for almost all the first lap, Dominic and Fraser holding off the Super Heavies. Plus Jude absolutely smokin' (or was that "strutting her stuff" with a borrowed 5.5) for the shooters!

And the secret of the winning team? But it wouldn't be a secret then.
