Kevin,
There are a couple ways that you can do this. At my current club we have a pseudo pursuit race, we start the boats at one minute intervals according to their PHRF rating and then compute each boat’s TOT corrected time after the race. It’s a lot of work for the RC but ends up with a more fair race. At my former club we had a true pursuit race. We worked out the length of the course and computed the TOD start times for each boat entered. The slowest boat started first and each boat had its designated start time. The first boat to cross the finish line won. Rick Taillieu Shearwater Yacht Club Halifax, NS.

I am curious how you went about it. Obviously there is some calculation of start times in relation to each boat's rating. These are our contestants <http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_registrant_list.php?regatta_id=13452&custom_report_id=2> . I figure there will be three starts. 1 for the 'Level' racers, 1 for 'No Score' racers, and another for PHRF, i.e. the Pursuit racers. This is the first race in our winter series, which runs till March. We thought we might kick it off with a fun race format. Thanks for your input! Kevin 30-2 _____ No virus found in this message.
