Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2008
Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy
September 1 - 6, 2008.

"It's wonderful. Without a doubt it's the best regatta we compete in and we did a number of regattas this year and it is the number one regatta. You have great boats, great conditions, great sails up among the rocks. It's a wonderful place to sail boats." John Williams, from the J Class Ranger (CAY IS).
