Sunday pre-start at the Bristol Cup Regatta 2008, Elephant Butte Lake

Boats move toward the line for the start of Sunday's first race of the Rio Grande Sailing Club's Bristol Cup.

For those who like math, the times for the first boat to complete a race this weekend ranged from 44 to 75 minutes, the average interval between boats finishing was four minutes, the average finishing time difference between first and second-place boats was 106 seconds, between 2nd and 3rd place was 199 seconds, and between 3rd and 4th was 521 seconds. The proportionately biggest time gap was in Sunday's second race of the day, in which the last-place A fleet boat took 51% longer to finish the course than the first to finish boat.
