Rolex and sailing
SailGP
Rolex is the Worldwide Presenting Partner and the exclusive Official Watch of the SailGP, a regatta circuit in which the world’s fastest sailing yachts compete, racing on seas around the world in F50 catamarans with foils that appear to fly through the water.
Innovation at the service of performance
Crews made up of some of the best sailors.
Identical catamarans, with foils and rigid sail, capable of reaching 50 knots (or almost 100 km/h). Spectacular regatta races that last at most 15 minutes. A season that takes place on the seas of the five continents. Introduced in 2019, the SailGP circuit has redefined the world of competitive sailing, with innovative, consistently optimized catamarans. These flying sailboats carry the colors of the countries they represent and embody the present and future of the sport.
The SailGP has also promoted the Impact League, the Women’s Pathway program and SailGP Inspire, initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability and diversity in the sailing world.
