The Giraglia Rolex Cup, which celebrates its 64th edition in 2016, includes one of the most renowned offshore races in the Mediterranean. The fleet will gather in the chic harbour of Saint-Tropez for three days of inshore competition before embarking on a 243-nautical mile offshore race to Genoa, Italy via the Giraglia, a rocky outcrop off the northern tip of Corsica. Created to rebuild ties between the French and Italian sailing communities following the second World War, the event has become a week-long celebration of Mediterranean sailing attracting close to 200 entrants. The race finishes in its traditional destination, Genoa.
