    In a pursuit race the slowest boat starts first and the faster boats start

    at various times after this according to their handicap. The handicapsystem is called a Portsmouth Yardstick and is designed so that boats

    of different speeds can race against each other. At the end of the race

    the boat that is in the leading position having sailed the same number

    of laps as everyone else is the winner. Spectators will get an excellent

    view of the event from the pier and a commentator will be on hand
