The Giraglia Rolex Cup

First held in 1953 and run every year since, the Giraglia Rolex Cup is one of the oldest and most prestigious events in the yachting calendar. It is a glorious spectacle as, after three days of inshore racing, the fleet sets sail from world renowned St Tropez towards the titular Giraglia rock. This year the event breaks with tradition by then heading towards a finish in Monaco, a suitably glamorous climax to a week's magnificent sailing.
