Another interesting point: tubulars (sometimes called "sprints" in the UK) can be found marked "27 inch." But they still fit what is known in the USA as a 700c tubular rim. And the 700c tubular rim is called that because its brake track is in the same position as the brake track of a 700c clincher rim. Therefore a set of tubular rims (your race wheels) could be readily interchanged with a set of 700c clincher wheels (your training wheels).
