The Short-Handed Chaos Race lived up to its name, with BIG breeze (20knots sustained for several hours, and gusts up to 27!) and a split fleet! There were entries and cancellations right up to Friday night, no-shows, and DNF's.
Highlighted in green, all the boats that went counter-clockwise around the course - that is: ED2 - TP - Bluff - Nanticoke Green - ED2. As you can see, 5 of the top 6 boats went this direction. It is safe to say that this was the correct tactical decision! The red highlighted boats went the opposite way, and did not fare as well. Sheets attempted the seldom-used 'figure 8' route.
