Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race – Resilience in the face of adversity


The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is renowned as one of the sport’s greatest challenges. In the 79th edition, competing crews were confronted with myriad challenges and variable weather conditions. A race marked by tragedy united the sailing community and was a showcase of human endeavour and teamwork. Celestial V70 claimed the Tattersall Cup as overall race winner while the Christian Beck-skippered maxi LawConnect took line honours for the second year in a row, completing the 628-nautical mile course down Australia’s south-east coast in 1 day, 13 hours, 35 minutes and 13 seconds. Organized by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA), in conjunction with the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, Rolex has partnered this offshore classic since 2002 as part of the brand’s near 70-year relationship with yachting.

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.
