Press Release 16/06/2021 ROLEX GIRAGLIA 2021 https://mailchi.mp/14cf3af4a055/pressrelease-1162325?e=ab9a90b326 Subscribe Past Issues Translate View this email in your browser ROLEX GIRAGLIA 2021 A fleet of 138 yachts sets out to conquer the Giraglia There were 138 yachts on the Sanremo start line at midday today in perfect conditions that were better than expected yesterday: a 15kn easterly that allowed a splendid start with first the 18 big maxis (of more than 18 m) of group 0, then it was the turn of the 64 yachts in group 1 and finally the smaller ones in group 2. It was a spectacular start with the line a few hundred metres from the breakwater of the old port of Sanremo and an offset mark about 1 ½ miles to the east; from there the yachts hoisted their big asymmetrical spinnakers and quickly disappeared towards the first mark in Cala del Forte. This was the last mark in the Italian part of the race, with the second mark of this unprecedented Rolex Giraglia at Chretienne off the Rade d’Agay, about 15 miles from the Gulf of Saint-Tropez with a committee boat of the Société Nautique de Saint Tropez waiting to record the roundings of all the yachts. During the remainder of the day the wind was expected to drop and then back Southwest 1 of 5 6/16/21, 9:13 PM ROLEX GIRAGLIA 2021 https://mailchi.mp/14cf3af4a055/pressrelease-1162325?e=ab9a90b326 Subscribe Past Issues Translate record is not under threat (in 2012 Igor Simcic’s Esimit Europa 2 logged a time of 14 hours, 56 minutes and 16 seconds) the big battle will be for “line honours”, with the big 30 m yachts that started eating up the miles right from the start and are expected to arrive in Genoa between midday and 4 PM tomorrow. As mentioned, stronger and more stable winds are expected for late tomorrow afternoon and could favour the trailing boats that could thus close the gap in compensated time and overtake the larger and faster 100 footers such as Magic Carpet Cubed, Arca SGR and Leopard 3, who will have been sailing with lighter winds. So the game is still very open and the organisers are waiting for news from the Rade d’Agay and later, after hundred and 10 miles of open sea, from the Giraglia islet. At the time of writing, the big yachts were making more than 10 kn with Arca SGR rounding the French mark at around 4:30 PM. Live TV coverage continues with the Rolex Giraglia on screen with daily reports from the sea and from dry land. Live coverage of today’s start was very exciting, with a commentary of three hours very well handled by journalist Matteo Cantile on Primocanale - Canale 10 digital, and on the YouTube channel of the Yacht Club Italiano. The Rolex Giraglia 2021 is live every day until June 19 at 8 AM, 1 PM and 6 PM, in addition to online tracking at this link.

    GIRAGLIA ROLEX CUP: TIXWAVE DI BERNARD VANANTY VINCE IN TEMPO COMPENSATO LA REGATA D’ALTURA NELLA CLASSE IRC E SI AGGIUDICA IL TROFEO CHALLENGE ROLEX Sanremo - Saint Tropez - Monaco, 13-21 giugno 2014 Comunicato stampa n. 9 20 giugno 2014 Tixwave, lo Swan 42 di Bernard Vananty vince la prova d’altura della Giraglia Rolex Cup in tempo compensato nella classe IRC e si aggiudica il Trofeo Challenge Rolex e un orologio Rolex. “Sono molto soddisfatto! – ha dichiarato Bernard Vananty – siamo arrivati secondi alla scorsa edizione della Giraglia Rolex Cup e quest’anno avevamo davvero voglia di vincere. Abbiamo trovato condizioni meteo ideali per noi e durante la notte abbiamo scelto la rotta giusta. Allo scoglio della Giraglia abbiamo trovato un buon vento di mistral che ci ha permesso di restare vicini alle barche più competitive della flotta”. Con l’arrivo delle ultime imbarcazioni allo Yacht Club de Monaco a Montecarlo, si avvia alla conclusione la 62° edizione della Giraglia Rolex Cup che terminerà con la festa per l’inaugurazione della nuova sede del club - in programma per questa sera - e con la premiazione alle 11 di domani.

Si aggiudica inoltre il Trofeo Beppe Croce per il primo yacht che ha doppiato lo scoglio della Giraglia e un orologio Rolex.

  • Rolex Giraglia 2018 Line Honour
    Subscribe Past Issues Translate RSS La Rolex Giraglia a ritmo di Tango È il Wally 100 Tango, che alle 13.19 di questo pomeriggio ha conquistato la line honour della 66ma edizione della Rolex Giraglia con un tempo reale di 23h48m55s. Grazie al talento tattico di un equipaggio a trazione francese, con i campioni transalpini Marc Pajot e Thierry Peponnet che si sono alternati al timone dell'ultimo nato del cantiere Wally. Classifiche in tempo compensato ancora difficili da stimare, con la flotta ancora molto allungata lungo la rotta tra la Corsica e Genova ‘Secondo me è una regata che durerà circa 24 ore’ – così parlò Thierry Peponnet, il campione francese alla tattica del Wally 100 Tango, profetizzando così un tempo che ha mancato di 12 minuti scarsi. Non aveva certamente atteso di vincerla, però, con un tempo totale di 23h48m55s e dopo una regata piuttosto impegnativa. ‘Non sono un grande amante delle regate offshore – gli fa eco Marc Pajot, veterano della Coppa America e timoniere del velocissimo progetto di Mark Mills – ma la Giraglia è una regata sempre speciale. Ne ho fatte diverse, ma è la prima volta che la vinco’. Dietro Tango, un arrivo in volata per Galateia davanti a Magic Carpet. I 3 Wally 100 hanno condotto una regata che, a tratti, ha ricordato il triello finale del film ‘Il buono il brutto e il cattivo’ di Sergio Leone. Si sono sempre marcati a vista con le miglia finali in cui il vento, in fase calante, ha rimescolato le carte consentendo la volata finale a Tango. Insomma, le prime 3 posizioni in tempo reale, sono stato un affare privato tra i 3 Wally 100, con gli arrivi dei primi 3 nell'arco di un'ora.

    Everything is in place for the 2017 Rolex Giraglia Cup The Giraglia Rolex Cup, which celebrates its 65th edition in 2017, will soon get underway. The event, sponsored by Rolex and organised by the Yacht Club Italiano and the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez with support from the Yacht Club de France, the Yacht Club Sanremo and the Cercle Nautique et Touristique du Lacydon will be held from June 9th to 17th. The Giraglia Rolex Cup will begin with races from Sanremo and Marseille to Saint-Tropez on June 9th, followed by three days of inshore competition in the bay of Saint-Tropez from June 11th to 13th. This before embarking on the famous 243nm race from Saint-Tropez to Genoa via the Giraglia rock, Corsica. Boats participating in the Giraglia, the Med’s most famous bluewater race, will leave Saint-Tropez on June 14th and arrive in Genoa at the Yacht Club Italiano’s clubhouse in Porticciolo Duca degli Abruzzi. The awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 17th. The Giraglia Rolex Cup is truly a classic event. As legend has it, the race was created on an evening in December 1952 when Beppe Croce, President of Yacht Club Italiano, René Levainville, President of Yacht Club de France, and Franco Gavagnin were enjoying a long dinner in a Parisian bistro. They envisioned the race from Saint-Tropez to Genoa as a challenge between yachts that could also be seen as a challenge between Italy and France that would favour relations after the Second World War. For the first edition of the Giraglia Cup in 1953 there were twenty-two boats at the start.

  • Year Book 2016
    YEAR BOOK 2016 Message from the President It’s only a couple of months ago since Claus-Peter Offen left his post after a long lasting and successful presidency. He made this position into one of his top priorities in life and our organization benefited accordingly. Claus-Peter also was responsible in convincing Andrew McIrvine to take over as Secretary General. It was vital to find a very ex- perienced, widely accepted and charismatic personality to guide our organization into the coming years. Personally I would like to thank Claus-Peter for leaving his house in such good order. The organization is well-financed, Rolex are continuing their support and Andrew can further count on our very capable team. Generally speaking your newly elected president will follow up this past success- ful route but also try to strengthen further our ties with the Supermaxi Category. We would like to see more supermaxis attending our regattas, especially the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in September. I would like to thank the Members for their support - and wish to see as many of them as possible on the water during the 2016 season. Thomas Bscher IMA President Message from the Secretary General 2015 has been a good year for the Association. We have seen signs of recovery from the world financial crisis and owners more willing to come out racing again. The year started with a spectacular win in the first joint RORC/IMA Transatlantic Race by Jeremy Pilkington’s ‘Lupa of London’ taking both the line honours and corrected time trophies. This year we are running the event again from Lanzarote to Grenada.
