To calculate the winner of a boat race where all boats sail the same distance, the essential information needed is the time each boat takes to get to the finish line. This is the most direct measure of performance in the race. While other factors like wind speed, crew skill, and boat size may influence the performance and speed of the boats, the winner is ultimately determined by who completes the distance in the least amount of time.
