Despite a slow start to the regatta, courtesy of  higher-than-usual onshore temperatures earlier in the week, today\u2019s  longer-form Bay Tour course gave teams a chance to whip their horses  around the West Coast\u2019s most competitive racecourse one last time.  Better still, the day\u2019s course selection allowed all teams to strut  their big-air skills while enjoying a stadium-style finish in front of  cheering fans ashore on StFYC\u2019s Race Deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the regatta\u2019s proud history, it\u2019s not surprising that many  StFYC members pride themselves on racking up a deep Rolex Big Boat  Series resume. \u201cThe regatta\u2019s culture has changed as the general culture  has evolved,\u201d said Steve Taft, who is celebrating his 45th Rolex Big  Boat Series this year by serving as tactician aboard Dave MacEwen\u2019s  Santa Cruz 52, <em>Lucky Duck<\/em> (USA 28729). \u201cBack in the day, there  was more tradition than now, but you had more tradition in society back  then. It\u2019s about keeping up with the times\u2014it\u2019s not like you\u2019re going  back in time 30 years when you come sail this regatta.\u201d  For more information, see: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/rolexbigboatseries.com\/news\/article\/fastest-guns-in-the-west-decided-at-the-rolex-big-boat-series\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/rolexbigboatseries.com\/news\/article\/fastest-guns-in-the-west-decided-at-the-rolex-big-boat-series<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sail Sport Talk is an audio and multi-media broadcast on 10 platforms to 82 million people in 168 countries through Sports Byline USA.
