First held in 1953 and run annually by the Yacht Club Italiano, the Rolex Giraglia is one of the oldest and most prestigious events in the yachting calendar. The 68th edition of this classic offshore race sees the international fleet break with tradition by setting sail from Sanremo, Italy's 'City of Flowers' before heading to the titular Giraglia rock off the northern tip of Corsica. The 243 nautical mile route ends in the historic port of Genoa - a suitable finish for one of the jewels of the Mediterranean sailing calendar. Show less
