In the first weeks of September, the alluring emerald waters off the coast of Sardinia host the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup. Organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, the fastest, most powerful Maxi Yachts face each other in a weeklong competition, framed by one of the most challenging and awe-inspiring locations in the sailing calendar, the Maddalena Archipelago. First held in 1980, the 32nd edition of this event, is guaranteed to provide exceptional, elite level competition and unparalleled glamour. The following week, the Swan fleet gathers to give the predominantly amateur crews and their guests a week of thrilling activity on water and on land. Swans from around the world are categorised by age, performance, and size for six days of relentless competition in one of the most alluring locations on the planet. Show less
