Giraglia Rolex Cup '08

Sunday, June 08, 2008 - Saturday, June 14, 2008
at St. Tropez (France, Mediterranean Sea)

Classic offshore test. A desolate island off the coast of Corsica, La Giraglia lands its name to one of the definitives regattas in the Mediterranean. Contestants must tackle 243 miles from St. Tropez around the lighthouse-crowned rock of Giraglia and back to the mainland to Genoa. Started in 1953 it's a classic test of sailing skills: preparation, tactics, pinpoint navigation and superlative timing.
