I have organized and run many Pursuit races. They are a great way of relieving the tension at the start line and can be fun and exciting at the finish.
First, you must know the course length, then calculate the time offset for each boat’s handicap. I can give examples – best offline.

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
