Come September and Rolex will once again showcase why it is treated as the name that stands for values that are inherent part of the adventurous sports. One of the most impressive and difficult sports that can get your pulse racing is boat racing. For Rolex it has always been of prime concern to promote and be associated with such events which thrive on the courage and capability of individuals. To ensure the same Rolex has been involved with many a racing event. The boat racing world is inundated with races which have the mark of Rolex. It goes to the credit of Rolex to have successfully supported countless boat racing championships.
One of the jewels in Rolex crown is the Rolex Big Boat Series. Keeping the tradition alive this year the series is going to celebrate 45th anniversary which speaks volumes of the historic relation that Rolex has with the world of adventure sports. Celebrating this momentous occasion St. Francis Yacht Club’s premier regatta will also serve as the 2009 Rolex US-IRC National Championship. The premier race is scheduled to be held from 10-13 September in the popular San Francisco Bay. Some of the most popular names in the world of racing are going to be a part of the regatta to celebrate the anniversary.
The 2009 Rolex US-IRC National Championship will include different divisions like IRC-rated entries as well as one-design classes. The honor that awaits the winners of the race is an amazing watch from the house of Rolex. All six Perpetual Trophy winners at the St. Francis Yacht Club would become proud owners of specially engraved Rolex watches. For the participants nothing can beat the thrill of participating and winning the race and when you are going to get specially engraved timepieces from Rolex the charm and motivation of participating multiplies many times. In a way Rolex has become one of the more important factors that pull the racers to give in their best and come out victorious.
The core factor behind holding the Rolex US-IRC National Championship at St. Francis Yacht Club is to promote the racing all across US and make sure that as many participants as possible can participate. And in the historic year of 45th anniversary of Rolex Big Boat Races it seems entirely suitable to host the Rolex US-IRC race in St. Francis Yacht Club. It is going to be more like a home coming for the US-IRC National Championship as it was the Rolex Big Boat Races where in 2004 the prestigious IRC started off in US. This year the competition is expected to be among the fiercest considering the US west coast is witnessing a whole lot of races this season which could lead to higher turnout of racing champions.
