Yeah we just had one yesterday. Start times per PHRF rating were calculated using TOT (A=715, B=515) assuming a two-hour race. We just race laps around three pre-designated marks in our lake. 90 minutes into the race, the next mark ahead for the lead boat becomes the last mark everybody has to round. We don't use an RC boat for this; starting at the right time is an honor system (and the finish order is obvious; no correction needed). We use a pair of no-wake-zone buoys as the start line, and the marina channel markers as the finish line. You can see our SIs here, including a table of start times per PHRF rating (assuming a 2:00 p.m. start for the first (slowest) boat racing) - https://csyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/CSYC-2016-PursuitRace.pdf. I don't have the spreadsheet that was used to figure these start times, but I could probably get it if you want it.

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 . 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!
