Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2007 ended in triumph for some and disappointment for others as the final day played out and racing came to a conclusion. As is so often the way on the final day, the individual race winners today were overshadowed by the overall regatta winners. No surprise really since only one boat in each of the four divisions is crowned champion, walking away with a Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup trophy and a Rolex Yacht-master timepiece. This year the overall winners were Carlo Puri Negri & Atalanta II (ITA) in Mini Maxi, Jean Charles Decaux & J One (MON) in Wally, Ranger (CAY) in Cruising and, after a extraordinary racing performance today, Hasso Plattner and Morning Glory (GER) in the grand prix Racing Division.
