Images from Chuck Lantz of the last day of the four-day Rolex Big Boat Series, held on San Francisco Bay, hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club. While light breeze forced abandonment of some class starts, including the IRC and ID35 fleets, the J-105's, Melges and Cal-40 fleets started in the light air, and found good winds near the Golden Gate bridge.
