Wish they had club races where faster boats start after the siren e.g RS 300 crosses the start line two mins. behind the pack & so on.

I agree. It’s not much fun being in a much Slower Class and sitting in dirty air the entire first beat.

That would be called a pursuit race where the different boats start at a time after the gun depending on how fast they are. This race is a personal handicap menagerie race :)

@@BananaPajama We usually have a pursuit race on Sundays at our club. Based on handicap I start about 15 minutes before our Commodore and he still laps me before the 75 minutes are up!

We did used to do pursuit races at the club, but handicap racing (we do average lap racing) gives much better starting practice, so we switched. It's good to have some starting practice if you plan to do events like Salcombe! Agree that it isn't great for slower classes, but equally pursuit races favour slower classes, as the faster boats have to do a lot of overtaking! Class racing is the only fair racing of course!

@@MSCracing-gg3yj For a spectator cramped starts do look good. And the battle around the last couple of drums to the line is exiting to watch when it's tight. Howzabout one or two pursuits a week?
