Sunshine Bay Yacht Club's Murray Erickson provides these notes re the Pursuit Racing Start Times [see spreadsheet on this members only page]
This is not a complete list of all the boats currently in SBYC or EYC. This was made from an old list, but I tried to use current info, regarding PHRF calculations. Some of these boats may have changed owners. If your boat is not listed here, or if some info regarding your boat is incorrect, please contact your Fleet Captain and/or Murray Erickson, and we will get your info updated on this list, ASAP.
Please note, only 1 boat listed on this spreadsheet should start at 19:00:00, and that is the Edel 540. Every other boat will be starting later that 19:00:00. The right hand column has your start time listed. You do not actually have to synchronize your watch with the committee boat, at the start of each race. You can listen for the Starting Sequence, which is
Your start time will now be whatever is listed after the 19: in the right
column. For example, if your boat is a Bayfield 25, with a PHRF of 270, your start time will be 19:02:45 (2 minutes and 45 seconds after the fourth horn has sounded).
If your boat is a Catalina 27, with a PHRF of 210, your start time will be 19:06:55. (or 6 minutes and 55 seconds after the fourth horn has sounded).

You can listen for the Starting Sequence, which is
- The first horn will sound @ 5 minutes before start time,
- The second horn will sound @ 4 minutes before start time,
- A third horn will sound @ 1 minute before start time,
- And the fourth horn will sound at the Start Time. (19:00:00)
