Boats and Crews Dress Up for Opening Day on the Bay

By John Arndt | April 29, 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area |

Sunday was the 106th annual Opening Day on the Bay, and from Raccoon Strait to the San Francisco Cityfront, boats of all types and sizes took to the water to join the festivities. As it happened, most of our crew were out of town (yes, on that “one” day of the year). But we have friends in all the right places and therefore have a great bunch of photos to share with you.

The theme for this year’s parade was Rockin’ the Bay.

How many pennants can one boat have? The answer: as many as it has earned.

Let the blessings begin. Boats cruised past the Corinthian Yacht Club’s Blessing Vessel in Raccoon Strait to pick up good vibes for the coming summer.

The fun didn’t stop when the boats were docked. Sailors got into full rock ‘n’ roll mode at CYC.
