A Record-Breaking Celebration of 60 Years of Swan

Sailing to the World
Oct 2, 2026

Six decades of Swan. One extraordinary fleet.

The 23rd Rolex Swan Cup brought a record 170 yachts and more than 1,800 sailors to Porto Cervo, celebrating Nautor Swan’s 60th anniversary through four unforgettable days of racing.

From Tarantella, the first Swan ever built, to the latest generation of Swan Maxis and ClubSwan One Designs, the fleet told the story of a brand spanning generations. Light winds, champagne sailing and a full-power Mistral tested crews across the waters of the Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena Archipelago.

The week concluded with victories for Freya, Arobas, Pride, Lunz am Meer, Earlybird, Nadir, Cuordileone and Anya Race among an exceptional group of class champions.

Organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in collaboration with Nautor Swan and title sponsor Rolex, the Rolex Swan Cup remains one of the most significant gatherings in international sailing.

Relive a record-breaking week in Porto Cervo.
