Rolex Middle Sea Race 2010
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 Straights 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!
