The Rolex Big Boat Series has once again attracted world-caliber sailors to this West Coast event from all corners of the continent and abroad. Beginning today, four challenging days of racing culminate with the presentation of six specially engraved Rolex timepieces given to winners of the St. Francis Yacht Club\u2019s Perpetual Trophies.<\/p>\n

The Rolex Big Boat Series is the second race of the<\/p>\n

series, followed by the West Coast Shootout (September 24-25) and the Great Pumpkin Regatta (October 29-30), which is considered a San Francisco classic.<\/p>\n

The racing action takes place on the San Francisco waterfront that is now home to the America\u2019s Cup.\u00a0 \u201cThis is the first time for all of us sailing in San Francisco,\u201d said Jan Bruening, the bowman aboard his father\u2019s German entrant, Topas<\/em>, in the Farr 30<\/p>\n

class, which is holding its 2011 World Championship concurrent with the Rolex Big Boat Series.\u00a0The thing we\u2019ve enjoyed is, really, that every day there are stable winds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The largest class, the J\/105s have \u201cdialed up their programs\u201d for the Rolex Big Boat Series, said Stuart Johnstone (Newport, R.I.), who is on Arbitrage<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s always tough; the top six or so teams are extremely good and all capable of winning a North American championship. In fact, San Francisco teams are typically known to dominate this class\u2019s North American championships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnstone pointed out that in IRC C, there are four J\/125s that are part of the \u201cfast forties\u201d sport boat \"\"<\/a>contingent.\u00a0 \u201cThey are also specially geared up for this regatta, and they corroborated on their ratings (by using same sail selections, etc.) to stay close.\u00a0There is only one boat (Andy Costello\u2019s Double Trouble<\/em>) that is local.\u00a0They are gonna have a ball, since the race committee, I\u2019m sure, will send them on courses that criss-cross all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnstone said it was anyone\u2019s guess how the new Farr 400 Team Premier<\/em> will fare with Dee Smith (Annapolis, Md.) at the helm, and there are also two Farr 36s and an ID 35 thrown into the mix.<\/p>\n
