Rolex Middle Sea Race 2024 – A compelling line honours contest


A fascinating contest for monohull line honours was staged at the 2024 Rolex Middle Sea Race. Huang-Seng Lee’s Scallywag 100 (HKG) prevailed as the first yacht to complete the 606-nautical mile course following an epic duel with rival 100-ft Maxi Black Jack 100 (MON). Her elapsed time was two days, 21 hours, 33 minutes and 29 seconds. An international fleet of 112 yachts are contesting the 45th edition of the race which starts and finishes in Malta and comprises an anticlockwise circumnavigation of Sicily. The focus now switches to the race’s most significant prize, the Rolex Middle Sea Race Trophy, awarded to the overall winner on handicap. Rolex has partnered both the race and its organizers, the Royal Malta Yacht Club, since 2002. Discover more https://on.rolex.com/4dZsrqR

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