The pursuit race is simply 2 fleets racing on the same course, concurrently. Datchet are addressing the fact that the fast boats have less time racing. Yes, as mentioned above, there will be 2 firsts, 2 seconds etc, each double scoring - hence 2,4,6 points.
At the end of the race there will be 2 heads of finishing at the 100 minute gun and sailors hold position until they next reach one of multiple finishing points. Upon declaring the boat ahead and behind at the gun it does not matter which fleet (fast or slow) you or they are racing in.

That's how I read it - for the pursuit race. Hope I'm in the slow pursuit race, given the forecast, and away from all the trapeze boats.

So why not just hold a handicap race and not bother with a persuit. The nice thing about the persuit is you know your finish position when the final sound signal is sounded.

Easiest way would just be to have 2 winners, 2 2nd etc, wouldn't it?

Easy... you know the start time (different for each class) and the finish time when they complete their last lap (must keep racing too finsh the lap their on even if final time is up). divided by laps.

Cant see how you can average lap a persuit. The race finishes after the time has elsapsed. To do extra distance(time) would mess up the handicaps.

I've not managed to look at the vid but to score a pursuit race they might make you complete the lap you are on (after the final hooter has gone) and turn it into an ave lap race.
