Let's be real..

It's tough to think of a better venue for a regatta than the St. Francis Yacht Club on the waterfront of stunning San Francisco Bay! The Golden Gate views, front row seats to the finish line and challenging sailing conditions can't be beat.

FEAR OF MISSING OUT IS OVER FOR BACCHANAL

Rolex Sydney Hobart division winner JPK 11.80 Bacchanal, is owned and skippered by Ron Epstein, and he’s eager to see how his new boat performs in a race he knows well, having podiumed in 2023 and 2024 with his J/133 of the same name.
“I had a serious case of FOMO watching RBBS from shore in 2025, and I am so excited to be able to sail Bacchanal back in our home waters against such excellent competition,” said Epstein. “Having the ORC Championship hosted by RBBS this year is exciting and motivating, and should bring the best out of all the sailing teams,” he added, noting that his crew will be well-seasoned and in tune with their boat come September, having raced over 2,000 miles together in the past year.
“I am most looking forward to getting back on the racecourse with what we learned about ourselves and our boat in Australia and see how we do!”
