Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2024 – Resilience in adversity


The official prizegiving for the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race offered a poignant conclusion to an edition marked by tragedy and defined by resilience. Competing crews confronted myriad challenges and a range of weather conditions throughout the 628-nautical mile race. The race’s two main prizes were awarded to Celestial V70 as the overall race winner and to LawConnect for line honours. Trophies aside, this race was a showcase of human endeavour, of teamwork and of a united sailing community. Rolex has partnered with the race and its organizers, the CYCA, since 2002. The CYCA is supported in its efforts by the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania (RYCT), race finishing partner. The race is an integral part of Rolex’s longstanding support and commitment to the offshore discipline in yachting. Next year marks the 80th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart, starting on Friday, 26 December. Discover more https://on.rolex.com/4gE8Uyh

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.
