The 62nd Giraglia Rolex Cup ended in true style, befitting “an old lady of yacht-racing” as Carlo Croce, President of ISAF and the Yacht Club Italiano described the Mediterranean’s top offshore race during his prize-giving remarks. Hosted by the Yacht Club de Monaco on the upper level of its new clubhouse, the occasion was a mix of emotion, pride, celebration and humour as the winners were rewarded for their efforts. Bernard Vananty and Tixwave from Switzerland took the main prize as overall winner of the offshore race. Igor Simcic and Esimit Europa 2 took the line honours trophy as the fleet’s fastest boat.
