Rolex Giraglia 2022 – Preview


One of the Mediterranean’s most historic and revered sailing events, the Rolex Giraglia returns from 10-18 June for its 69th edition. Partnered by Rolex since 1998, the competition is renowned for its Corinthian spirit and as a standard bearer for the traditional values of sailing. For the first time since 2019, the organizers will be able to put in place a full programme of events. The picturesque French coastal town of Saint-Tropez will host a three-day inshore series as well as the start of the week’s main event, the 241-nautical mile (446km) offshore race to Genoa, Italy. Regularly attracting an international fleet of more than 200 yachts from over 20 countries, the offshore race is short and intense in nature. It is divided into three distinct segments: from the start to La Fourmigue turning mark off Le Lavandou; from there the leg out to the Giraglia rock, located off the northern tip of Corsica, and the race’s undeniable symbol; and then, as competitors contend with fatigue, from the rock to the finish line off the Yacht Club Italiano’s clubhouse in Genoa. While the frontrunners challenge for line honours, the sought-after overall victory on handicap can be won by any yacht in the fleet. Qualities that always defines the winning crew are togetherness, dedication and tactical excellence. Discover more https://on.rolex.com/3x0sFvq

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.
