The annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is one of the toughest tests of sailing ability and the 77th edition was no exception. The race has an international repute that transcends sailing’s perceived boundaries and once again attracted a clutch of top class international entrants, along with competitors from all corners of Australia, all keen to test themselves. Rolex has partnered the Rolex Sydney Hobart and its organizers the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) since 2002. Continuously supporting dynamic yacht clubs like the CYCA, institutions essential to the evolution of sailing and which help perpetuate and develop the offshore sailing discipline, is a core facet of Rolex’s support for yachting.
