ROLEX IMS OFFSHORE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2005 COMES TO MENORCA
24 June 2005 - 15:04
The Rolex IMS Offshore World Championship 2005 this year moves for the first time to Mahón, Menorca. This year sees a record number of participating nations including crews from as far away as South America. The UK will be represented and two yachts from Menorca “Jaime Mascaro” and “Too Much” will also be taking part. The championship consists of six days of fierce grand-prix competition, with the world title being won or lost in just a matter of seconds.
The crews and yachts will gather in Mahón on 11 July to test their mettle in a series of exciting races. The races range from a sprint-like windward/ leeward course to a long offshore race that will keep most of the fleet at sea for at least 24 hours.
To accompanying the championship there will be a number of on-shore events, the highlight of which will be the Rolex Party to be staged at Fortaleza la Mola, the historical focal point of Mahón Harbour.
In conjunction with a number of Menorca-based companies, Clearwater Yacht Brokers is offering luxury day charters throughout the championship giving sailing enthusiasts the chance to watch the racing first-hand. For further information please contact them on
