Default Optimising regatta starts

As I understand it, a 'regatta start' is where the start line opens at
a specific time and pilots are effectively penalised for starting
before or after this instant. If this interpretation is right, what
methods are used by pilots to estimate their arrival time, and what
maneuvers are used to delay arrival?
