The 3^rd event on the 2015 Gazprom Swan 60 circuit starts shortly on June 12^th coinciding with the Giraglia Rolex Cup which includes the Mediterranean's oldest offshore race. Following the first leg from Sanremo (12 June) the fleet will gather in Saint-Tropez for three days of inshore competition (14-16 June) before embarking on the main event, the 243-nautical mile offshore race (commencing 17 June) to Genoa via the Giraglia rock, a rocky outcrop off the northern tip of Corsica.

The Giraglia Rolex Cup has run annually since 1953 and is now one of the most renowned regattas in the Mediterranean. The chic harbour of St Tropez on the French Riviera near to Cannes and Marseilles is a beautiful part of the world; the area is a favourite for film stars, millionaires and owners of beautiful yachts.

Races are organised by the Yacht Club Italiano under the aegis of the Federazione Italiana Vela, the Federation Francaise de Voile, in collaboration with Societe Nautique de St Tropez, City of Saint Tropez, Yacht Club de France, Yacht Club Sanremo and Union Nationale pour la Course au Large.

Live tracking will be available for the offshore which starts on 17 June:
