How successful was last week’s return of the Rolex Big Boat Series? Just take a look at the happy faces we photographed during the regatta at St. Francis Yacht Club on September 16-19.
To help everyone stay safe, StFYC required proof of vaccination to enter the clubhouse. You showed your vax card and your photo ID once and received a wristband to wear for the duration. Then you just had to show the wristband and put on your mask each time you entered. The big parties were held outside in the tent on the dirt patch between StFYC and Golden Gate YC.
At the famous Mount Gay Rum Party on Friday night, the sponsor’s rum was flowing and the hosted food-truck supper was as plentiful, diverse and delicious as ever.
The crowds returned to the tent for the awards party on Sunday afternoon.
We’ll have much more in the October issue of Latitude 38.
Thanks for the kind comments, we enjoyed having the entire Bay Area sailing community there for the 2021 Rolex Big Boat Series.
