The Rolex Swan Cup has long been a rendezvous noted for its heritage and philosophy of respectful sailing. Organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), it showcases monohulls from the sublime array of yachts representing all eras of Swan yacht design. A fleet of more than 100 contested the 22nd edition of the biennial regatta, with the best performers in their respective divisions being: Sea Quill in Maxi/Mini Maxi, Isabella in Sparkman & Stephens; Katima in Grand Prix/Cruiser and Canopo in One Design. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the partnership Rolex has enjoyed with the YCCS and celebrated Finnish yacht constructor Nautor Swan, as part of our support for yachting that began in the late 1950s.

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.
