Winners in four IRC classes and five one-design classes were named yesterday evening at the Rolex Big Boat Series. Hosted by St Francis Yacht Club, the event awarded its six historic Perpetual Trophies at a gala trophy ceremony where winners also received specially engraved Rolex timepieces.

The St Francis Perpetual Trophy, which was established to stimulate and encourage competition among large ocean racing yachts. Philippe Kahn (Honolulu, Hawaii) and his TP52 Pegasus 52 won the IRC A class. The trophy has been awarded annually since the inception of the Big Boat Series 41 years ago to yachts invited to a race or series of races that are measured and handicapped in accordance with the current measurement rule and rate 40ft or more.

John Siegel and his Wylie 42 Scorpio won IRC C class and the Richard Rheem Perpetual Trophy. The trophy was established in 1972 in memory of Richard Rheem, whose famous yacht Morning Star was the elapsed time winner in the 1949 and 1955 Transpac races to Honolulu.

Gary Mozer won IRC D class and the Keefe-Kilborn Memorial Trophy, which was established in 1976 to honor Harold Keefe and Ray Kilborn. Mozer’s J/109 Current Obsession won the 10-boat class.
