Endurance, dedication and skill all came to the fore during a captivating 44th edition of the Rolex Middle Sea Race. The Italian yacht Bullitt was crowned overall winner of the race contested by an international fleet of 110 yachts from 26 countries. Partnered by Rolex since 2002, the Rolex Middle Sea Race is organized by the Royal Malta Yacht Club, and was founded in 1968. Renowned for its challenging and beautiful course, the 606-nautical mile (1,112 kilometre) race begins and ends in Malta and encompasses an anti-clockwise circumnavigation of Sicily. For the second year running, Leopard 3 claimed monohull line honours while Limosa took the multihull title.
