What is Pursuit Racing?

For those new to pursuit racing, here's how it works:
Boats of different speeds start at staggered times based on their handicap rating , theoretically all finishing at the same time. This format levels the playing field, creating an exciting and dynamic race where strategy, teamwork, and sailing skill shine.

Whether you're a competitive racer or sailing for fun, pursuit racing provides a unique and exhilarating challenge that keeps every crew engaged.
