There was Chaos at Bedlam Point today during the annual running of the MHYC Feature Race to Abbotsford and return for the Chaos Cup and Bedlam Point Cup, this year sponsored by Telstra Business Technology Centre.

Sydney put on a beautiful sunny day with a moderate south westerly for the 11am pursuit start. As forecast, the breeze moderated and became flaky before building again in the south-east. It was at its flakiest when the fleet bunched up and arrived at the Bedlam Point turning mark. It is reported that there was a great deal of discussion between boats at this point!

Winner of the Chaos Cup for first boat in the spinnaker fleet to cross the line was Ian Box’s Toy Box 2. Toy Box 2 was the Division 1 winner ahead of Little Nico (Adrian Walters) and Khaleesi (Sandy Farquharson). Division 2 winner was Brian Lees’ Contentious from Farr ‘n Away (Chris Lee) and Alliance (Ben Thompson).

Winner of the Bedlam Point Cup for the first non-spinnaker boat home was Tim Horkings and Carl Crafoord on Sail Exchange.

The Jeanneau Cup Series, supported by Performance Boating, included today’s Division 3 racing. The winner was David Ferguson's Starstruck, ahead of Galan (Mike Gallagher) and Ca Va (Peter Lewis).

Winners of the Cock of the Club Teams Trophy were Team #3 – Kayimai (Rob Aldis), Contentious (Brian Lees) and Galan (Mike Gallagher).
