The 34th Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup will be remembered for the exceptional, but extreme weather that reduced competitive sailing to two days across the week. It will also be remembered for the perseverance of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda which, in collaboration with the International Maxi Association, ensured a successful conclusion to the regatta. The patience and focus of the competing crews will not be forgotten and, most of all, the winners will be recalled for their achievements, particularly Leopard 3 for securing the first ever Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship. And, of course, the 40th anniversary of one of the most successful partnerships in yachting, between Title Sponsor Rolex and event host the YCCS will be celebrated for continuing to deliver one of the most acclaimed contests in the sport.

Rolex has always associated with activities driven by passion, excellence, precision and team spirit. The Swiss watchmaker naturally gravitated towards the elite world of yachting six decades ago and the brand’s enduring partnership now encompasses the most prestigious clubs, races and regattas, as well as towering figures in the sport, including ground-breaking round-the-world yachtsman Sir Francis Chichester and the most successful Olympic sailor of all time, Sir Ben Ainslie. Today, Rolex is Title Sponsor of 15 major international events – from leading offshore races such as the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the biennial Rolex Fastnet Race, to grand prix competition at the Rolex TP52 World Championship and spectacular gatherings at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup. It also supports the exciting SailGP global championship in which national teams race identical supercharged F50 catamarans on some of the world’s most famous harbours. Rolex’s partnerships with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, New York Yacht Club, Royal Ocean Racing Club, Royal Yacht Squadron and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, among others, are the foundation of its enduring relationship with this dynamic sport.
