Starting at the southern tip of Prudence Island, racers the select the rounding order of each of the three major bridges in Narragansett Bay – Newport Bridge, Jamestown Bridge & Mt. Hope Bridge – based upon the tide, wind & weather, competitors, and personal preference.
The race is both a pursuit race and a build your own course race – hence the FIASCO.
