The Saint Francis Yacht Club, on the other hand, takes a completely different view.

Over the last 10 years in particular, the Saint Francis has become a leading organizer and promoter of a variety of windsurfing regattas in the Bay Area.

This unique location allows many races to be run right from the deck of the clubhouse. In addition to the Friday Night Racing Series from April through September, annual events include The Bay Challenge, The Bay Classic/UltraNectar Challenge (both long-distance events) and The Pacific Coast Championships (course/slalom). As always, both open class and one-design racing are supported.

Right now, the United States' best chance for regaining the America's Cup from New Zealand is the Saint Francis Yacht Club-sponsored America One, skippered by Bay Area native Paul Cayard.
