In Hong Kong, ROLEX celebrated the start of a long-term partnership with the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), one of Asia's premier sailing and rowing clubs, which over its rich 150 year history has been a focal point for active and competitive oarsmen and sailors through to the present day.
The initial four-year partnership will feature ROLEX as the Official Timepiece for all of RHKYC's activities, with the China Sea Race and the San Fernando Race, the Club's biennial races to the Philippines, becoming part of ROLEX's distinguished portfolio of international offshore races.
ROLEX welcomes this partnership. Highly visible in the world of sailing for almost 50 years, ROLEX has successfully partnered with some of world's premier yacht clubs and sailing events around the world, including the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the Rolex Fastnet Race, both considered the pinnacle of ocean racing. Yacht racing is a sport steeped in history and passion, and it is with this passion that ROLEX signifies its intent and commitment to the development of yacht racing in the Asia Pacific region.
