The Giraglia Cup, which celebrates its 63rd edition in 2015, includes one of the most renowned offshore races in the Mediterranean. The fleet will gather in the chic harbour of Saint-Tropez for three days of inshore competition before embarking on a 243-nautical mile offshore race to Genoa, Italy via the Giraglia, a rocky outcrop off the northern tip of Corsica. Created to rebuild ties between the French and Italian sailing communities following the second World War, the event has become a week-long celebration of Mediterranean sailing attracting over 200 entrants. After last year's finish in Monte Carlo harbour the race returns to its traditional destination, Genoa.
