2011 marks the inaugural running of what will become an annual 400 nautical mile offshore race from Gaeta, just north of Naples, south to the volcanic island of Stromboli and then north to the finish off Capri. Open to all maxi yacht classes, and organised by the International Maxi Association in conjunction with the Comitato Vela nel Golfo di Gaeta and the Yacht Club Capri, the race forms part of Rolex Capri Sailing Week.
