For sailors who've competed in Rolex Big Boat Series over its 60-year history, "It's the most fabulous event there is, period," according to Chris Perkins, who's raced it since the 1980s and is the 2024 Commodore of event host St. Francis Yacht Club.

What makes it fabulous? Epic, breeze-on conditions over four days of racing, dynamic racecourses managed by a world-class race committee and outstanding parties hosted by St. Francis Yacht Club. Perkins hasn't committed to a boat yet, but he's fired up for the full schedule of events, on and off the water. "I just love the event. You know it's time for Big Boat Series because the weather starts changing," says Perkins, a multi-year winner in the J/105 fleet who, last year, served as helm on Shepard Kett's Santa Cruz 50 Octavia, which won the St. Francis Perpetual Trophy and a Rolex timepiece.

It's not too late to join the party on San Francisco Bay, September 11-15, 2024, at this legendary racing destination. To be a part of celebrating its iconic 60th year, sign up before entries close at 2100 hours on Saturday, August 31.
