could it be agreed upon, then, that Match, Team, Fleet, and Cruising are all separate disciplines within sailing that require different techniques, rules, and application?

So that rules and conduct acceptable in, say, match racing would NOT universally apply to other disciplines?

Does that make any particular discipline more or less relevant?

To my feeble mind, match racing looks more like MMA fighting while fleet racing is more like a footrace. Team racing may be more like cycling (with the teamwork)?

Does match racing skill translate into good fleet racing results?
