FAO Woody: The reason that there is only one person in each sailing event
is to stop team racing, where the team can gang up to slow the opposition. Just like Ben Ainslie did to Jonas Hogh-Christensen. In the lympics 'best man' wins.
Team racing is a separate discipline, mostly done at Uni and unbelievably tactical with each team having three boats.
