The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is the pinnacle of big-boat racing. The 2019 edition drew a fleet of 53 yachts to Porto Cervo in Sardinia for a week of intense but friendly competition. Winners in the eight classes included Velsheda in the Supermaxi, Highland Fling XI (Maxi Racer) and Cannonball (Mini Maxi Racer 1). Their success was built on painstaking preparation and sailing excellence on these stunning but challenging Mediterranean waters. Since 1985 Rolex has supported this cherished regatta - organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in conjunction with the International Maxi Association - as part of its enduring relationship with yachting dating back more than 60 years.
