There's a saying in sailboat
racing that if there's wind, then everyone is happy. It's safe to say that the
competitors in the Rolex Big Boat Series were ecstatic with today's conditions
of 8-10 knots in the morning, building to 15+ knots by early afternoon for the
regatta's final race - known as the Bay Tour. The St. Francis Yacht Club
(StFYC) Race Committee sent the 10 competing classes on courses ranging from
15.44 to 21.01 nautical miles. When it was all over, six of the 10 class
winners were awarded one of the StFYC's Perpetual Trophies as well as a Steel
Submariner Rolex timepiece in recognition of their accomplishments.
