Rolex Swan Cup
All sports have events in their calendars that transcend the sport itself, that embrace a sense of community which links participants in a shared experience, along with those who witness and support it.
Yacht racing of course has its contenders for this transcendental crown, and the Rolex Swan Cup has been successfully stating its own claim for the honour every two years since 1980 — and will do so again at its 22nd edition from September 15-21 in Porto Cervo with more than 100 examples of the Nautor Swan range already entered.
The regatta will also mark a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the partnership between Rolex, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) and Nautor Swan. To commemorate these first 40 years together a photographic exhibition will be held in Piazza Azzurra tracing the values which underpin this iconic regatta and have united Rolex, YCCS and Nautor Swan for four decades. It will be a journey of emotions and memories, celebrating the past with a clear view to the future.
“Our partnership with Rolex and the YCCS has been a long and successful celebration of shared values and constant innovation that has established a landmark in the world of sailing and sport,” said Nautor Group President Leonardo Ferragamo. “It has been and is an example of gentlemanly yet real competition, elegance and friendship. I am happy to welcome so many passionate sailors to this exciting new edition!”
ClubSwan Racing, as organiser of the season-long The Swan One Design Nations League series, which includes Rolex Swan Cup, would like to highlight the essential support provided by their main partners Rolex, Randstad, Porsche, Henri Lloyd, Ferragamo and Banor.
Marking a special commitment, the Randstad Sailing Team will be racing onboard the Swan 82 Kallima for the 2024 Rolex Swan Cup. “Sailing stands for leadership, communication skills, trust, and flexibility,” says Angela Tenerelli, Marketing & Communication Director of Randstad Italia. “Competing in the Rolex Swan Cup 2024 allows us to showcase these values and offer selected companies the opportunity to experience sailing firsthand.”
A prestigious crew will be racing aboard Kallima – Randstad Sailing Team, including the legendary Paul Cayard, globally renowned sailor Tommaso Chieffi, and multiple world champion and Head of Swan OD Sport Activities, Federico Michetti.
