To mark the occasion, the 80th edition of the 628-nautical mile race from Sydney to Hobart, the state capital of Tasmania, looks set to be an epic. A fleet of over 130 yachts has registered, including former race winners and five of the world’s leading 100 ft (30.5 m) maxi yachts which will contest line honours. Over the decades, this legendary sporting contest has proven career-defining, inspired generations and embodied the qualities at the core of the Rolex ethos: excellence, perseverance and respect for tradition.

Title Sponsor since 2002, Rolex enjoys a partnership with race organizer the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia that is a cornerstone of the Swiss watchmaker’s near 70-year association with yachting.
