The Mediterranean is again set to host one of the world's most exciting and challenging offshore yacht races: the 2024 Rolex Middle Sea Race. With its iconic 606-nautical-mile course that takes sailors around Sicily, through the Strait of Messina, past the volcanic Aeolian and Egadi Islands, Pantelleria, and Lampedusa, and then back to Malta, this race continues to be the pinnacle of offshore racing.
