Take a look at these superb pictures from Carlo Borlenghi, taken at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Sardinia last week.
The Costa Smeralda provides a stunning setting and a variety of great, challenging conditions for the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, one of the highlights of the Mediterranean yachting season.
The first ever Maxi World Championship held in Sardinia in 1980 was the brainchild of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and it’s president, the Aga Khan. The regatta is now an eagerly anticipated annual event and attracts a sizeable fleet of Maxi yachts- from mini maxis to supermaxis- to Porto Cervo each September.
2015 marks the 26th edition of the competition which comprises the sixth running of the much-vaunted Maxi 72 Rolex World Championship.
For more information on this year’s regatta and the full list of results, visit the International Maxi Association website.
