First held in 1980, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is one of the most spectacular and exciting regattas on sailing’s international calendar. Staged off Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda - renowned for its breathtaking setting featuring rocky outcrops and turquoise waters - it attracts dedicated owners, highly skilled crews and exceptional yachts. A 44-boat fleet competed in the 2021 edition of the week-long event. Divided into five principal classes based on size and potential, the winners were: Velsheda (Supermaxi); Magic Carpet Cubed (Maxi); Cannonball (Mini Maxi 1); Capricorno (Mini Maxi 2) and Lyra (Mini Maxi 3). Organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), in conjunction with the International Maxi Association (IMA), Rolex has partnered the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup since 1985 as part of its wide-ranging support for yachting dating back more than 60 years.
