With a large enough fleet, the winning boat will generally be the one that finds the fastest possible way around the course. In contrast, match racers will only concentrate on crossing the line before their opponent: this sometimes means taking a route that's not the fastest possible, for example in order to slow down their opponent. As a result of this, special pre-start routines have developed [4] and two other tactics that arise from this mind-set are tight coverage and drawing fouls.
