Kevin, We do this at Raritan Yacht Club once a year for one of our long distance (20 mi) races. We require sign up one day in advance and figure ahead the handicap times for that distance. Pick an easy starting GPS time ( 11:00 hrs or similar) and set each boats star accordingly. The race committee assists by verbally counting down the last few sec for each start. Any boat that starts prior to their time gets a 5 min penalty for each part of a minute they are ocs. The finishes are very interesting. Tom 33-1
