Rolex Giraglia 2023 – Race Start


One of the Mediterranean’s most renowned sailing events is celebrating a significant milestone this year. First held in 1953, the Rolex Giraglia is marking its 70th anniversary and edition, offering an opportune moment to celebrate a competition with a rich heritage and a distinct spirit of camaraderie. Rolex has partnered the race and its organizer Yacht Club Italiano (YCI) since 1998. The YCI is supported in its efforts by the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez, the Yacht Club de France and Yacht Club Sanremo. Following three days of inshore racing in Saint-Tropez, France, an international fleet of 155 yachts commenced today’s offshore race, running at a shortened distance of 215-nautical miles (398 kilometres) to Genoa, Italy and encompassing the rounding of the race’s emblematic landmark, the Giraglia rock.Discover more https://on.rolex.com/3qG3nSO

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.
