Following another memorable season for international Swan racing, with a Swan Maxi Circuit win for Gerard Logel’s 601 @Robas, Nautor’s Swan is pleased to announce another active programme for 2010. The main feature of the calendar will be the Rolex Swan Cup, reaching its 16th edition from 13 to 19 September 2010. Once again Porto Cervo, Sardinia will become the centre of the Nautor's Swan community with upwards of 100 Swan yachts competing in the waters off of the Sardinian coast. The biennial event attracts both modern and classic Swan yachts and will feature the Club Swan 42 and Swan 45 one-design classes as well as the Swan Maxi Class and Classic Swan yachts. A draw for top sailors and amateurs alike, the Rolex Swan Cup provides a spirited week of racing and gala social events for which Rolex and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda are renowned. The Circuit is set to include the following events: - PalmaVela, Palma de Mallorca, Spain 14 - 18 April
Giraglia Rolex Cup, Saint Tropez, France 12 - 19 June

The Swan Maxi Class, open to all Swan yachts over 60 feet, is due to expand over the course of the 2010 season following the introduction of the new Swan 60s and development of the Swan 90s on the racing scene. The Circuit competition will begin in Palma de Mallorca at PalmaVela, from 14 to 18 April, followed by the inshore element of the Giraglia Rolex Cup, 12 to 19 June, where the programme will also bring together yachts from the Swan One Design and Classic Swan fleets in St. Tropez. The pinnacle and finale to the Circuit will then be the Rolex Swan Cup in Porto Cervo where a collection of 36 Swan Maxis gathered for the 2008 edition of the event. We would like to remind competitors that each yacht must register for the component Circuit events directly with their respective organising yacht clubs. Further information on the Circuit events will be communicated to the Class by email and through the Swan Maxi Class website as it is available from the organising authorities. Feel free to contact the Swan Racing Office with any enquiries.
