BOAT: JOLT FAST 40

The Admiral's Cup is back for 2025 and will be held biennially thereafter by the Royal Ocean Racing Club. Established in 1957, The Admiral's Cup is honoured throughout the world of sailing as the unofficial world cup for offshore racing.

Teams from Great Britain have been the most successful, winning the trophy on nine occasions. Germany has won four times, USA and Australia three times each, with Australia being the holders of this prized trophy. Victories have been achieved for France, Italy, the Netherlands and New Zealand.

This regatta will be the racing highlight of 2025 as it also celebrates RORC 250th Anniversary. Teams of two boats may enter representing a club or country. There will be no limitation on professional crew or crew nationality. There will be two classes with teams having one boat in each class.

The racing schedule consists of short offshore races, inshore races, a coastal race and finishing off the event The Rolex Fastnet Race. Teams that achieve the best combined results will win the prestigious Admirals Cup.

For this event I will be sailing with Jolt sailing team flying the banner of Yacht Club de Monaco, the second half of the team Jolt’s TP52.
