Other Editions:

Created in 1980, this biennial regatta attracts a spectacular fleet of yachts from around the world and celebrates the enduring collaboration between Rolex, Nautor’s Swan and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. The 2016 edition marks a special milestone as Nautor celebrates its 50th Anniversary year.
