Considered the most prestigious regatta on the West Coast with a history of legendary competition since 1964, Rolex Big Boat Series draws sailors from around the country and the world to St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, California, for four days of high-test competition and highly fun social events. Scheduled for September 13-17, 2023, the following are invited to compete in this year’s regatta:
- One-design boats of the J/105, J/88 and Express 37 classes. Other classes with a minimum number of boats can be considered with application to the Organizing Authority.
