Your handicap determines your start time; read the race instructions and it's attachment for your start time. However, I don't see them posted on gbcadotorg yet. Shouldn't be long now before being posted.

Ron,
We should have the NOR posted in the next day or so.  In a general sense, the starts should be between 1130 and 1230 depending on your rating.  See the NOR for the specific start times.

For now just a general idea of start time would be good.

Morning, Noon or evening.

Generally the earliest start time is 11:41:32 for a PHRF of 284, so depending on how hot your boat is you will probably start around noon.

Ron, Welcome!

The notice of race should be posted very soon with the details.
We can also get you a provisional rating if you don't have a PHRF certificate.

Chances are you'll find a sister ship in the PHRF-GB database to get you a little closer to the ballpark on your start time.

Of course, your boat will vary depending on the rig and setup.
That's where the provisional or certificate can help.

Will PM you once I get thru this Monday morning....
