After four days of thrilling sailing on San Francisco Bay, champions were crowned at the 2026 Rolex Big Boat Series on September 20 at St. Francis Yacht Club. The top prizes—two Rolex Submariner Date Timepieces, seven perpetual trophies, and the ORC North American Championship titles in four divisions were awarded after a long “bay tour” race for all 81 competitors. Strong and steady afternoon breezes made for excellent viewing conditions throughout the week for fans spectating from the Race Deck of StFYC’s clubhouse. The scenic red towers of the Golden Gate Bridge framed showstopper finishes, dramatic broaches and parades of spinnakers in full press for the finish line. In the J/88 fleet, competing for takehome trophies:\
Ravenette, Brice Dunwoodie\
