Jolt, Van Uden, and the Youthful Dutch Storm the Admiral’s Cup and Fastnet Finish Line

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.
