    • Sep 17 2010 - The weather co-operated a bit today, contrary to the forecast - and we had a fine day of racing. Two divisions are solidified in their outcomes. In the 1D35 division, Dark n' Stormy has taken the title, and in IRC-C, Wasabi has taken the title.  Battles for second and third in these divisions will play out tomorrow
    • Sep 18 2010 -Tomorrow will be a telling day in a few divisions, in the Melges 32 division, only five points separate the top five positions on the leader board.  Much will be dependant on wind conditions where certain teams excel in heavy air, and others in light air.
    • Sep 19 2010 - The front that has brough unusual humidity, cloud, showers, and fog for this time of year is pressing through inland, and sunnier skies are anticipated for the afternoon.  Morning winds are forecast for 5-12 knots out of the SW, swinging westerly and freshening in the afternoon.
    • Sep 19 2010 - Today is the last day of racing in the 2010 Rolex Big Boat Series will see one race for all divisions.  Known as the "Bay Tour" all divisions will be sent on a picturesque circuit around the Bay, and all will finish downwind directly in front of Saint Francis Yacht Club.  The RC will set the courses such that divisions will be criss crossing each other on their upwind approach to the weather mark and downwind finish leg, making for great viewing from the race deck.  As racing gets underway tide will be turning slack from a flood, with an ebb building throughout the afternoon. That means that the downwind racers will be looking to come in close to the city front for current relief and we can anticipate a parade of spinnakers within touching distance of the seawall.
