Last month, Rolex celebrated 60 years of involvement in the gentlemanly sport of yachting, and capped off a sensational season by handing out coveted <\/span>Yacht-Master watches<\/span><\/a> at one of the world\u2019s most prestigious regattas, the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. <\/span><\/p>\n

First held in 1945, the 628-nautical mile race is one of the most prominent and important sailing events among the 15 major international regattas that Rolex now sponsors around the world.\u00a0<\/span>The iconic Swiss timepiece manufacturer has been a sponsor of the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race since 2002, roughly a decade after first introducing the Yacht-Master line of watches to their catalog.<\/span><\/p>\n

A partnership that dates back to 1958<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 1958 – five years after introducing their highly water-resistant Submariner line of dive watches<\/a>, Rolex wisely forged a \u201cprivileged relationship\u201d with the most elite circles in boat racing, by partnering with several of the sport\u2019s most exclusive and influential yacht clubs, including the New York Yacht Club in Newport, RI; the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, UK; and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Sardinia. According to <\/span>Sail World<\/span><\/i>, the 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, which took place between December 26th and December 31st, was \u201ccontested by a hugely diverse and competitive 85-strong fleet and crewed by experienced and talented sailors,\u201d and was one of the most exciting in 73-year history of the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Yacht-Master II is Rolex’s professional regatta chronograph, and features an adjustable countdown timer with mechanical memory for use during boat races.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the winner of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After a grueling battle with the 100-ft. maxi yacht,\u00a0<\/span>Wild Oats XI<\/span><\/i>, it was Phillip Turner\u2019s 66-ft. ship,\u00a0<\/span>Alive<\/span><\/i>\u00a0that was judged the overall winner of the race. The sleek, Reichel\/Pugh designed boat is the first yacht from the isolated Australian island of Tasmania to win the race since 1979. The Official Prize Giving took place at the Grand Chancellor Hotel in Hobart, Tasmania (where the race ends), with Patrick Boutellier, the General Manager of Rolex Australia presiding along with regatta officials, including the Governor of Tasmania and the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alive<\/span><\/i>\u00a0skipper, Duncan Hine received three trophies in all, including the coveted Tattersall Cup, and was also presented with a specially-engraved Rolex Yacht Master for the overall win in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Turner also received a Yacht-Master for \u201cline honors\u201d (being the first yacht to cross the finish line). \u201cAt Rolex we are very proud to be a part of this race,\u201d Boutellier said at the prize giving. \u201cThe Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is the jewel in the crown of the many events that we support around the world.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it shares a number of design similarities with the Submariner, the Rolex Yacht-Master is very much a watch of its own design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
