Technological innovations in sporting competition, the passion for research and the desire to set new standards represent a challenge that has spurred BMW on ever since it was established. |
|
| This can be seen in the commitment displayed by Team BMW during the last America’s Cup campaign and the experience of BMW Designworks USA in designing sail and powered craft, where their skill in the use of innovative, lightweight materials resulted in a mutual exchange of ideas between the automotive sector and the world of design in general. BMW Italia has decided to contribute to the success of prestigious, high level sailing events, such as those promoted by the Yacht Club Italiano. |

Rolex has been associated with sporting achievements for almost one hundred years. When Mercedes Gleitze swam the English Channel in 1927, she wore a Rolex Oyster on her wrist; whereas it was Edmund Hillary and sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s Rolex watches that told the time on the first successful ascent of Everest in 1953. Rolex’ interest in sailing dates back to the end of the 1960s, with the International Rolex Regatta at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, followed by a collaboration with the American defender in the America’s Cup and the development of large scale sailing in the Mediterranean. |
|
| Today, the Rolex sailing program is based on collaboration with Yacht Clubs active all over the world: Yacht Club Italiano, New York Yacht Club, The Royal Ocean Racing Club, Royal Malta Yacht Club, Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Yacht Club Capri, Yacht Club Argentino, Real Club Nautico de Valencia, Kieler Yacht-Club… The Rolex sailing events calendar includes offshore regattas, classic races and world championships in various classes: Giraglia Rolex Cup, Rolex Fastnet Race, Rolex Sydney Hobart, Rolex Middle Sea Race, Rolex Swan Cup, Rolex Farr 40 Worlds, Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, Rolex Baltic Week, Trofeo S.

Prestigious partnership with Yacht Club Italiano
|
|
The renowned sportswear brand NORTH SAILS has signed a prestigious partnership deal starting in 2010 with Yacht Club Italiano, the oldest and most authoritative Italian sailing organization.
This scheme will make North Sails’ bond with its nautical origins even stronger and give it an extremely high profile in international regattas.
The “Randa Boys Cup” provided further proof of North Sails’ efforts to reinforce its natural affinity with the sailing world. A joint initiative with the Style Piccoli magazine, this regatta for young sailing enthusiasts took place in Liguria in May, with technical and organizational support from Yacht Club Italiano.
The history of North Sails is built on the great passion and successful philosophy of Lowell North. In 1958, this exceptional, Olympic medal-winning sailor founded one of the most important companies in the seafaring world. Thanks to his drive for innovation and quality, which have always distinguished all of North Sails’ products, over time it has become one of the leading sail manufacturers on the planet.
The origins of North Sails clothing lie in the sailing world. Its functional and technical properties are developed thanks to the brand’s close ties with professional sailors who compete in regattas. Quality and design are the cornerstones of its continually evolving collections. Its sportswear style with a fashionable feel can be technical, classical or innovative. North Sails breaks down all boundaries, staying true to its core values while keeping in step with the latest trends at the same time.
