Rolex Swan Cup 2024 - Preview

The Rolex Swan Cup is one of sailing’s most revered and distinct regattas. The 1984 edition marked the beginning of Rolex’s remarkable relationship with the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS). It was also notable for the coming together of the Swiss watchmaker and the Finnish shipyard, Nautor Swan, two brands synonymous with excellence, innovation and elegance. This three-way partnership thrives on protagonists bound by an indefatigable passion for yachting and the sea. In 2024, the Rolex Swan Cup celebrates 40 years of this exceptional union from 15 to 21 September. A diverse array of Swan yachts will grace the emerald waters and rocky outcrops of Sardinia’s Maddalena archipelago and seek to claim much coveted class victories. The event provides a compelling showcase for a rich variety of Swan designs which all carry the marque’s proud hallmarks: high performance, timelessness, technical proficiency and durability. Alongside intense action on the water, the regatta is renowned for its unique spirit of camaraderie, fair play and a sense of belonging. Discover more on.rolex.org/4...
