The 30th edition of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup will take place off Porto Cervo, Sardinia, from 1-7 September. For almost four decades, the event has provided an exacting test for the Maxi, the most powerful, elegant and impressive yacht class. First held in 1980 and organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) in conjunction with the International Maxi Association, Rolex has been the event’s title sponsor since 1985.
