Rolex SailGP Championship
Redefining competitive sailing

Few experiences can rival the Rolex SailGP Championship’s elite level of sportsmanship. The same sense of excellence exists at Tiny Jewel Box in Washington, DC, where leaders, influencers, and collectors enjoy the highest levels of craftsmanship and heritage. While the SailGP Championship continues to redefine the future of professional sailing, Tiny Jewel Box reimagines the luxury landscape in the nation's capital. The SailGP Official Timepiece is not simply an instrument to guide sails; it is a glimpse into what endurance and precision look like for world-class sailing.

Ultralight aerodynamic catamarans. Spectacular races on the seas across five continents. A unique experience for the public. The Rolex SailGP Championship, with Rolex as Title Partner and Official Timepiece, has revolutionized yacht racing and propelled competitive sailing into the future.

The fastest fleet in history

Twelve crews comprising the most talented of sailors. Identical catamarans, with foils and a rigid wingsail. Capable of rising above the waves to reach speeds of 50 knots, almost 100 km/h, they go head-to-head in rounds of no more than 15 minutes each. The Rolex SailGP Championship is redefining the world of competitive sailing with cutting-edge boats that deliver exceptional performance. These veritable flying yachts bear the flags of the nations they represent and make up the fastest fleet in history.

Spectacular competition

First held in 2019, the Rolex SailGP Championship has established itself as the most thrilling competition in the world of sailing and invigorates each season with new events. Now, a dozen races around the world are held throughout the year: San Francisco, Dubai, Auckland, Portsmouth, and even all the way to the shores of Lake Geneva. At each Grand Prix, the championship offers a spectacular show in front of huge grandstands, providing spectators with an exclusive experience.

A 2012 Olympic Games gold medallist, Tom Slingsby is also a three-time Rolex Sailor of the Year awardee. He has also won the Rolex SailGP Championship three times as the helmsman and chief executive officer of Team Australia. The talented yachtsman brought home 10 world championship titles across multiple categories. The Australian was also a member of Oracle Team USA that held aloft the America’s Cup in 2013. Moreover, he stood at the helm of line-honors winning crews in real time at the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the Rolex Middle Sea Race.

Martine Grael, a born skipper

In 2025, Martine Grael made history by becoming the first helmswoman of the Rolex SailGP Championship with the new Mubadala Brazil SailGP Team. The Brazilian sailor was only 22 years old when named Rolex World Sailor of the Year in 2014. Two years later in Rio, she won the first of two Olympic gold medals in the 49er FX class, with the other one following in Tokyo in 2021. She also took part in the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-2018, an offshore competition that established her as one of the world’s most accomplished sailors.

Precision that Transcends Boundaries
