Chaos is a Farr 1104 built by Compass Yachts and the sister ship of 1976 winner Piccolo. A number of these yachts are entered this year, (as there have been since their introduction in 1976). They always do well because they race each other, thus sometimes managing to beat more modern designs. Chaos has an experienced crew which includes Roadrunner Howlett who has been doing this track since 1969.
