Barb:

I am still learning monohull racing. BUT it is kind of like this. We start based on our PHRF ratings and try to catch the other boats. We start the Beneteau First 36.7 at 12:10:52 pm and must finish the race by 3 pm. It is 8.6 mile triangle course with reverse rounding each race. More here: http://www.gbca.org/
I race on this boat:
