2016 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship - The Rolex Spirit of Yachting film series present the Rolex Farr 40 World Championships 2016 — the action, highlights and memorable moments.

This iconic regatta has captivated the yachting community since its inception in 1998. The 19th edition, held in Sydney, Australia, provided the perfect stage for close racing between evenly-matched, 40-foot monohull racing yachts, helmed by skilled and competitive owners.

This year’s reward — the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship trophy and the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 watch — went to Alex Roeper’s crew on the US yacht Plenty for a second time.
