Jolt 6 crossed the Rolex Fastnet Race line at 21:47:15 on Tuesday, hot on the heels of the IRC Overall prize. Had she claimed it, she would’ve joined a very exclusive club: only two yachts in history — Red Rooster in ’69 and Clarion of Wight in ’63 — have taken both the Admiral’s Cup and the Fastnet Challenge Cup in the same year. At the wheel for the Fastnet was Casiraghi, who pulled in a crack team including IMOCA star Will Harris, the unstoppable Cole Brauer, Olympian Ben Saxton, and AC veteran Andrew McLean.

Black Pearl First to the Rock as the Rolex Admiral’s Cup Teams Power into the Celtic Sea

The Rolex Admiral’s Cup fleet spent a wild second night offshore, taking on the long, punishing beat through the Celtic Sea. The wind wasn’t ferocious, but the sea state was—big Atlantic swell, relentless chop, and a hard-earned haul towards one of offshore racing’s most iconic landmarks: the Fastnet Rock. Standing 54 metres tall, forged from Cornish granite, the lighthouse marks more than just a turning point in the Rolex Fastnet Race. In its 100th edition, it’s a century-old beacon of salt, grit, and glory.
