Time to win: when must slower boats finish in order to win a handicap race?

The first boat to finish is not necessarily the winner of a handicap race. There may be boats with slower handicaps that are yet to finish that could still win.

The Time-to-Win Page is designed to show which boats could win and when they have to finish in order to beat the current leader. It is particularly useful for longer races, where the first boat may finish hours, or even days, before some of the slower ones.

To view the time-to-win page bring up the public results page for the series in question. Each race in the series has a set of results. In handicap races, there is a clock icon () towards the right of the bar. Click the clock icon to see the time-to-win page.
