Rolex Swan Cup 2024

Porto Cervo bid farewell in the best possible way to the more than 1,800 sailors taking part in the 23rd edition of the Rolex Swan Cup, with a perfect day of racing under clear skies and a north-easterly breeze building from an initial eight knots to 12.

The Mistral set the tone once again for the third and penultimate day of racing at the 23rd Rolex Swan Cup, blowing at 16 knots for the opening starts and reaching 22 knots, with gusts of 25, during the closing stages on the windward-leeward course. As the coastal race neared the finish, the Swan 128 Rajin reached a speed of 18 knots on a broad reach with a 22-knot wind.

Swan One Design classes complete up to three windward-leeward races. Race around the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago in ideal conditions for all remaining classes.

The first day of racing at the 23rd Rolex Swan Cup began early this morning as the quays in front of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda came alive with the bustling crews of the 170 yachts gathered in Porto Cervo.
