The Middle Sea Race, or Rolex Middle Sea Race for sponsorship reasons, is a yacht race organised by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. The race was co-founded in 1968 by the Royal Malta Yacht Club and the Royal Ocean Racing Club. The Rolex Middle Sea Race was created as the result of sporting rivalry between two British yachtsmen residing in Malta, Alan Green and Jimmy White, and two Maltese sailors, Paul and John Ripard. both members of the Royal Malta Yacht Club. The 607-mile (977 km) race starts and finishes in Malta, and takes the fleet in anti-clockwise around Sicily, Italy.

Die Wettfahrt wird organisiert vom Royal Malta Yacht Club (RMYC). Im Jahr 1968 wurde die Regatta vom Royal Malta Yacht Club gemeinsam mit dem Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) mit Vereinssitz in London gegründet und erstmals ausgetragen. Diese Regatta zieht ebenso wie die Sydney-Hobart-Regatta viele große Rennyachten an, um die prestigeträchtigen Line Honours (First Ship Home) zu gewinnen. (de)

  • Das Middle Sea Race oder offiziell Rolex Middle Sea Race seit dem der Sponsor Rolex die Finanzierung des Rennens sicherstellt, ist eine Regatta rund um Sizilien. Die Wettfahrt wird organisiert vom Royal Malta Yacht Club (RMYC). Im Jahr 1968 wurde die Regatta vom Royal Malta Yacht Club gemeinsam mit dem Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) mit Vereinssitz in London gegründet und erstmals ausgetragen. Das Rolex Middle Sea Race hat eine Länge von 606 Seemeilen (1.122 km) mit Start- und Zielpunkt Malta und führt seit 1978 die Segelflotte gegen den Uhrzeigersinn (links herum) rund um die italienische Insel Sizilien, einschließlich der Liparischen und der Ägadischen Inseln sowie der Inseln Pantelleria und Lampedusa. Diese Regatta zieht ebenso wie die Sydney-Hobart-Regatta viele große Rennyachten an, um die prestigeträchtigen Line Honours (First Ship Home) zu gewinnen. (de)
  • The Middle Sea Race, or Rolex Middle Sea Race for sponsorship reasons, is a yacht race organised by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. The race was co-founded in 1968 by the Royal Malta Yacht Club and the Royal Ocean Racing Club. The Rolex Middle Sea Race was created as the result of sporting rivalry between two British yachtsmen residing in Malta, Alan Green and Jimmy White, and two Maltese sailors, Paul and John Ripard. both members of the Royal Malta Yacht Club. Alan (who would go on to become Secretary of the Royal Ocean Racing Club) and Jimmy proposed a longer course than was typical in the region, and one designed to offer an exciting competition in windier autumn conditions. The original suggestion was for a course that would start in Malta and finish in Syracuse, Sicily, in one year and then start in Syracuse and finish in Malta, the next. In an inspired moment, Paul insisted that the race should be centred on Malta, both starting and finishing there. The course was now, essentially, a clockwise circumnavigation of Sicily including Lampedusa, Pantelleria and the Egadi and Aeolian islands. It would be slightly longer than the RORC’s own famous offshore event, the Fastnet Race, sponsored by Rolex since 2001. The 607-mile (977 km) race starts and finishes in Malta, and takes the fleet in anti-clockwise around Sicily, Italy. (en)
