The 2024 edition of the annual Rolex TP52 World Championship marks a landmark occasion for the pinnacle event in grand prix monohull sailing. For the first time the competition will be held outside European waters. From 15-20 July, the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) will host the event at its summer home on Newport, Rhode Island (US). For Rolex it unites two major relationships. First, the NYYC, its oldest partner in the sport of yachting, dating back to 1958, and second, the world championship of which it has been the Title Sponsor since 2017. Across a maximum of ten races, competition is always fierce as top-level international crews contest the coveted world championship title. Discover more https://on.rolex.com/3VskKQL
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.
