Hosted annually by the St. Francis Yacht Club the Ronstan Bridge to Bridge is a unique event that is part of the San Francisco International Skiff Regatta. The event is actually race #8 in the 5 day skiff racing series and while on the score card it's just a single race it's unlike any other event in the world. The race is a 7.5 mile all downwind speed dash between two of the Bay Area's iconic bridges. First up the Golden Gate Bridge serves as the starting line while the Bay Bridge is the finish line. Well sort of that is. Actually due to the obvious difficulties of spotting the line inflatable boats and buoys are set as close as possible to the bridges to serve as start/finish lines. This year's wild conditions saw only 33 of the 57 competitors make it to the finish line.
