SPECIAL - Thorney Pursuit
25th August, 13:00 - 15:30
HW 13:46 4.8m
Great fun, a pursuit race is a little different to normal races. The handicaps are worked out before the start for a race over a set time. The slowest boat starts first and at prescribed times the rest of the boats start with the fastest boat starting last.
The faster boats have to try and work their way through the fleet and catch the slower boats. Then after predetermined time (in this case 90mins from the first start) the race officer finishes the race on the water, motors down the fleet recording positions. The boat that is in the lead is the winner.
SIMPLE, what can go wrong !!!
Start sequence and course will be displayed by the race office on the day.
