Keith will sometimes engage us in pre-start match racing type maneuvers and it is really fun. It is also a good way to get a bunch of close quarters maneuvering practice. When we are doing well at it, there is not much talking going on, just doing, and doing quickly. As in let’s tack, gybe, and lets try scraping him off on that moored boat or starboard tacker. We should, wind permitting, do more of this. Only downside is loosing track of starting with the rest of the fleet. But, ideally that is part of the learning I think, as in control your opponent and get the start you strategically desire. It must be fun to watch as well.
