Rolex Fastnet Race 2023 – 24 July – More Records Fall


The 50th edition of Rolex Fastnet Race has witnessed a series of record-breaking achievements. First posting the largest-ever fleet to cross the start line then, on the second day, the 32 metre (105 foot) French trimaran, SVR Lazartigues, was the first boat to finish bettering the previous outright race record for the 695nm course by 36 minutes. Some 24 hours later, the 18m French IMOCA 60, Macif, was the first single-hulled yacht to reach Cherbourg, breaking the previous monohull record by one hour and 15 minutes. The Rolex Fastnet Race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club and has been partnered by Rolex since 2001. The race is a legendary sporting contest that demands the very best from crews hoping to complete the historic course. Discover more https://on.rolex.com/44R3tGc

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, Royal Ocean Racing Club, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Yacht Club Italiano, New York Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron, among others, are the foundation of its enduring relationship with this dynamic sport.
