In winning the 75th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and lifting the Tattersall Cup for a second time in three years, Matt Allen and the crew of Ichi Ban, overall winners of the 2019 race, have joined an elite group; those whose dedication and passion are as enduring as this great race itself. Prevailing from an international fleet of 157 yachts is a remarkable achievement. The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is one of the world’s legendary contests. In winning it twice, the Ichi Ban crew has comprehensively affirmed that the preparedness, determination, endurance and skill required to succeed in the discipline of offshore racing are deep-seated characteristics. Rolex has always associated with activities driven by passion, excellence, precision and team spirit. It naturally gravitated towards the elite world of yachting six decades ago and today supports the most prestigious clubs, races and regattas. The brand is Title Sponsor of 15 major international events – from leading offshore races, such as the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, Rolex Middle Sea Race and the biennial Rolex Fastnet Race, to grand prix competition at the Rolex TP52 World Championship and spectacular gatherings at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup. It also supports the exciting new SailGP global championship, where national teams race in supercharged F50 catamarans on some of the world’s most famous harbours. Rolex’s partnerships with the likes of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Royal Ocean Racing Club, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Royal Malta Yacht Club, New York Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron are the foundation of its enduring relationship with this dynamic sport.
