Why does the Round the Island race always go anti clockwise? Is it a tidal thing?

If you had 1700 boats heading east off the start line 1699 would probably hit The Brambles :nonchalance:

I would think so.
They like to do it on neap tides, so starting at mid day could make it a late finish for some.
This would cut down the bar takings.

With prevailing wind being Southwesterly it give an upwind start, spreads a fleet out very quickly.

IIRC, didn't the America's Cup anniversary race go clockwise?
