This coveted team trophy, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, is competed for every two years. Each nation team participating at the Sardinia Rolex Cup 2008 will comprise three yachts: a Farr 40, a Swan 45, and TP52. ISAF has designated the Sardinia Rolex Cup the Offshore Team World Championship, and teams will also be racing for the Rolex Offshore Team World Championship Trophy.
