The first two days of racing at the 21st edition of the Rolex Swan Cup have offered intense competition. On both coastal and windward/leeward courses, a diverse fleet of over 90 registered yachts have provided a compelling spectacle. Returning after a four-year absence, the Rolex Swan Cup, first held in 1980, is one of the most prestigious and historic events on the sailing calendar. This year yachts are competing in eight different classes including Maxi, Sparkman & Stephens classics - some dating back to the origins of Nautor Swan in the 1960s - and one designs including the ClubSwan 50 and ClubSwan 36, making its Porto Cervo debut. The event unites three longstanding partners in Rolex, Nautor Swan and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

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.
