An enduring partnership

The 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race marks 20 years of partnership between Race Organiser, the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, and Race Sponsor, Rolex.

Rolex’s sponsorship of the race began in 2002, as the CYCA built towards the 60th anniversary race in 2004.

Since then, the CYCA and Rolex have celebrated many milestones, including the 10th race with Rolex as Race Sponsor in 2011 and the 75th anniversary race in 2019.

Rolex is synonymous with yachting worldwide and is Title Sponsor of 15 major international events, including the Rolex Fastnet Race, Rolex Middle Sea Race, Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup.

The presentation of Rolex timepieces to the Line Honours and Overall winners of the Rolex Sydney Hobart has become an iconic moment of each race.

The CYCA looks forward to welcoming representatives from Rolex to Sydney and Hobart to celebrate 20 years of an enduring partnership.
