Italy s premier offshore race, the Rolex Giraglia sets sail tomorrow (Wednesday 16th June), the fourth event in the International Maxi Association s 2020-21 Mediterranean Maxi Offshore Challenge.
Due to the pandemic, the event s organiser, Yacht Club Italiano, has been forced for the first time to keep the start and finish within Italy. As a result the start will be from Sanremo, the course heading for a mark at Cala del Forte off Ventimiglia, then into French waters to a turning mark off the Rade d Agay (east of Frejus/Saint-Raphaël). From there the normal course resumes heading to the Giraglia Rock off northern Corsica and on to the finish off Genoa.
Tomorrow will see the start of the 68th edition of the Rolex Giraglia
