The Rolex Middle Sea Race is equally a true sailor’s race and a complete test of sailing prowess and navigational skill. The circular course starts and finishes in Malta, and includes a near-circumnavigation of Sicily. Active volcanoes, narrow channels and a myriad of islands make up a large part of the race’s character; so, too, do lengthy open water passages where the sea and wind can vary between the benign and tempestuous, frequently in the same race and, on occasion, during the same day.
