2025 Rolex Big Boat Series - ORC West Coast Championship 2025

Registration is now open for the 61st edition of the Rolex Big Boat Series, which also serves as the ORC West Coast Championship 2025. St. Francis Yacht Club invites ORC sailors from across North America to an intense week of competition on San Francisco Bay from September 10-14. The ORC class has become a key part of this prestigious regatta, attracting some of the best sailors and boats to the West Coast.

Three new ORC West Coast Champions were crowned in the 60th edition of the Rolex Big Boat Series: Dave MacEwan’s Rogers 46 LUCKY DUCK in Class A, Drew Freides’s Cape 31 PACIFIC YANKEE in Class B and Zach Berkowitz’s J/100 FEATHER in Class C. For winning Class B, Freides also won a Rolex timepiece for his team’s victory in the 7-race series.

Right on cue, San Francisco Bay rolled out the most demanding conditions for sailors at the 60th edition of Rolex Big Boat Series at St. Francis Yacht Club. A steady 15-20 knots during the first race on Thursday continued to build through Sunday for pure thrills and some spills for the 70 boats competing.

The breeze ticked upwards to a solid 20+ knots on Day Two of the 60th edition of the Rolex Big Boat Series, also the 2024 ORC West Coast Championship.
