Rolex Middle Sea Race 2012
The Rolex Middle Sea Race takes
place in the heart of the Mediterranean and covers one of the most
beautiful courses in the world. The race starts in Malta and heads for the Straits of
Messina before circumnavigating Sicily. Then the course takes you
past the breathtaking islands of Pantelleria and Lampedusa before
returning back to Malta for the finish. The Rolex Middle Sea race
even features Stromboli's active volcano as a course mark!
You will join our yacht in Malta on the Monday before the
race starts for a training and preparation week to completely
familiarise yourself with all the racing manoeuvres and the
team. You will also become fully involved with the boat
preparation and the tactical discussions, making you an important

incredibly enjoyable race. The Rolex Middle Sea Race is undoubtedly

racing.
