Simon Xuereb’s Spirit of the Winds made its debut in the 2023 Rolex Middle Sea Race. Simon and his crew are set to return this year. 

Simon Xuereb’s Spirit of the Winds did not have the start they had hoped for when they encountered damage early in the race. Despite the setback, they persevered and successfully completed the course, achieving their goal of overcoming any obstacles and gaining valuable experience. This year, three crew members from the previous race are returning, joined by three new sailors. Building on the lessons learned from last year, the Spirit of the Winds’ crew is focused on delivering a competitive performance they can be proud of.

The 45th Rolex Middle Sea Race

The Rolex Middle Sea Race is a 606nm offshore classic. It is often mentioned in the same breath as the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the Rolex Fastnet Race as one of the ‘must do’ 600 milers. Featuring a circular route, tow active volcanoes and a host of other islands, the course has a unique splendour not to be missed.
