Rolex Middle Sea Race 2022 – Preview


An impressive international fleet of over 100 registered yachts from 25 countries are set to contest the 43rd edition of the renowned Rolex Middle Sea Race. This year also marks twenty years of the partnership between Rolex, the race, and its organizers the Royal Malta Yacht Club. Following the start from the Maltese capital, Valletta on Saturday 22 October, competitors face numerous stringent physical and tactical tests as wind and sea conditions often change dramatically at each corner of the course. The beautiful 606-nautical mile (1,122 kilometre) racecourse features a long anticlockwise circumnavigation of Sicily, two active volcanoes, narrow passages and a myriad of wild islands. While the Maxi monohulls and cutting-edge multihulls will focus on finishing first on the water, the most significant and coveted prize is overall victory on corrected time.

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.
