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.

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.
