Racing at the 2024 Rolex Swan Cup is underway. An impressive fleet of over a hundred Swan yachts divided across four divisions are gracing the 22nd edition of the esteemed biennial event.
During today’s first day of competition, the Swan Maxi Division A (Maxi and Mini Maxi), Swan Division B (Sparkman & Stephens) and the largest group, the Swan Division C (Cruiser, Grand Prix) with 29 entrants, contested scenic coastal courses. The Swan One Design division classes, including the ClubSwan 36, ClubSwan 42, Swan 45 and ClubSwan 50, completed two intense windward/leeward races.
Forty years ago, the 1984 edition of this event 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.
Racing continues tomorrow, Wednesday 18 September, and concludes on Saturday 21 September. Subscribe to the Rolex YouTube Channel to receive an alert when new video content is available.
