The 2014 Giraglia Rolex Cup, which celebrates its 62nd edition on June 13-21, includes one of the most renowned offshore races in the Mediterranean. Following a prologue race from Sanremo (ITA), the fleet will gather in the chic harbour of Saint-Tropez (FRA) for three days of inshore competition before embarking on a 241-nautical mile offshore race to Monte-Carlo via the Giraglia, a rocky outcrop off the northern tip of Corsica.
