The Express 37 one-design class holds its annual Championship Regatta as part of The Big Boat Series. Hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club, the series provides some of the most challenging competition on San Francisco Bay.

Glenn Isaacson's Request finished first in the 12-boat fleet.

The Express 37 class is a healthy class. By stipulating that owners drive their own boats, by speci-fying the number of crew on the rail and by limiting sail purchases, the class rules are written to encourage participation in class racing.

These rules demand the most of the skipper, crew and equipment. These rules mean Request's sails have to be the best.

Glenn Isaacson had just one small "request" for Big Boat Series: success. Glenn chose Pineapple Sails.
