Rolex SailGP Championship
Redefining competitive sailing

Professional sailing truly embodies the adventurous ethos Rolex has stood for since its founding in 1905. Elite sailors, both male and female, from around the world face the unique challenges of wind, tide, agility, and resilience while carving their way to victory. Sailors like Hannah Mills and Martine Grael are the driving force behind the advancements in women's sailing, encouraging the youth to pursue new paths. As an Official Timekeeper of the SailGP Championship, Rolex provides each competing team with timepieces to rely on throughout the unique conditions of the regatta course.
Ultralight aerodynamic catamarans. Spectacular races on the seas across five continents. A unique experience for the public. The Rolex SailGP Championship, with Rolex as Title Partner and Official Timepiece, has revolutionized yacht racing and propelled competitive sailing into the future.

The fastest fleet in history

Twelve crews comprising the most talented of sailors. Identical catamarans, with foils and a rigid wingsail. Capable of rising above the waves to reach speeds of 50 knots, almost 100 km/h, they go head-to-head in rounds of no more than 15 minutes each. The Rolex SailGP Championship is redefining the world of competitive sailing with cutting-edge boats that deliver exceptional performance. These veritable flying yachts bear the flags of the nations they represent and make up the fastest fleet in history.
