OFFSHORE RACING

“To me, racing is a magnifier for sailing and all that it entails: teamwork, leadership, adventure, freedom, exploration, challenge, human connection, connection with nature. It is a fast track way to producing exceptional sailors & creating profound sailing experiences. Sharing this opportunity with regular sailors like you is the most rewarding thing I get to do on the water!”
— Nikki Henderson

Join us in Malta for the Rolex Middle Sea Race! This Mediterranean offshore classic is one of the world's iconic 600-mile offshore races, alongside the Fastnet and the Sydney-Hobart. Steeped in history, the race originally came about due to a rivalry between members of the British Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Royal Malta Yacht Club in 1968. Starting and ending in Malta, the counter-clockwise racecourse circumnavigates the island of Sicily and is known for its changeable weather conditions, and unrivaled natural beauty.
