F16 v F18 Cyber race?

"After the Europa’s Cup event it really seems that team racing is something we may do at Tacticat.

The event was something rather spontaneous and without preparation. Well, we had to check it was going to work, and we do know now it works and gives people the kind of amusement and things to think we should expect.

Actual defender is Spain. We could schedule another team event any time ESP vs. World and world team limited to best scorers while boats are available. But it doesn’t seem the best approach.

I think it would much better to allow syndicates, based in whatever, country, clan, sailed class, friendship, sex, … you name it. A syndicate with 6-10 boats/sailors and with a ‘captain’, someone to act as main contact.

We would open a team-race regatta field where Syndicates could schedule races and where challenger-defender events could be raced.

One idea is, for instance, that all USA-mainly-based syndicates could fight for the USA-1 name. And challenge Spain.

One of the reasons to do it that way is to pass some of the organization work to other heads outside Tacticat. We do have enough work just to make things run and to slowly improving the system .

Any ideas, suggestions, complaints????
