Site Map of Bruce Kirby Marine | Sailboat and Yacht Designer of Laser, Sonar, Ideal 18, San Juan 24, Canada 1 and others: "Looking to the future, I think we should encourage and expand both team and match racing. The success of the New York Yacht Club's Swan 42 match race series can attest to the validity of big boat match racing. On the other hand I have friends who are afraid that too much team racing will seriously cut into fleet racing. I doubt that very much. The same people do both, and there are a lot of good sailors who cannot tolerate the vocal decibels of team racing and will stick to trying to finish first in a fleet instead of turning around to molest the guys behind them."
