Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2024 - Day Three images from Bow Caddy Media

by Bow Caddy Media 12 Sep 08:53 BST 8-14 August 2024

After the first two days of racing were cancelled at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2024, it was good to see the fleet take to the water off Porto Cervo on Day Three. In light airs Maxi Divisions 1 and 2 sailed two windward/leeward races, with the rest of the fleet heading north on an islands course around La Maddalena Island. By midday the breeze had reached 12-13 knots making for some great imagery. Here’s a small selection of Maxi Divs 1 and 2 at work.
