Race length

   It depends a little on how far in front the leader is getting, especially on a long course where being lapped isn't happening. About 50 minutes is fairly normal, with the hope that everyone finishes roughly by the hour. However, in a cold weather drifter race, this could be down to 35 minutes so that the people in the slow boats don't freeze.

	How long (time wise) does your club make an individual race last for the leading boat and do you have a cut off for finishing for the slow boats.
