Yacht Club de Monaco Celebrates Historic Admiral’s Cup Win

A Historic Win for Yacht Club de Monaco

In an exhilarating display of skill and determination, the Yacht Club de Monaco celebrated its first-ever victory at the renowned Admiral’s Cup. This spectacular win marked not just a triumph in the sailing world but also a significant milestone as YCM made its debut at this prestigious event.

The Final Showdown at the Rolex Fastnet Race

Competing against fierce international teams, YCM navigated the challenging waters of the Rolex Fastnet Race, which served as the culminating event in the Admiral’s Cup series. Led by the YCM vice-president, Pierre Casiraghi on board Jolt 6, and accompanied by skilled sailor Peter Harrison on Jolt 3, the Monaco teams exhibited sheer excellence, ultimately outpacing competitors from the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

A Journey to Glory

This triumph comes after two decades since the last Admiral’s Cup was hosted, reviving the spirit of competition among 15 nations through various phases, including the rigorous Channel Race and multiple inshore races in the picturesque Solent. The decisive 695-mile Rolex Fastnet Race was where the teams showcased exceptional skill and tactical prowess to secure the overall standings.

Praise from the Helm

Pierre Casiraghi expressed his disbelief and excitement after clinching victory: "Honestly, I still can’t believe what we’ve achieved. Winning the Admiral’s Cup in its revival and on Monaco’s debut is indescribable. It has been an exhausting race and a collective effort from our entire team. Our navigator, Will Harris, was phenomenal, and we executed our race plan flawlessly."

A Remarkable Performance by YCM Teams

Joining Casiraghi's success, Peter Harrison and his Jolt 3 crew proudly finished third in real-time in AC Class 1. Harrison noted, "This is without a doubt the biggest result I’ve ever had in sailing and I doubt it will ever be topped. Helping bring Yacht Club de Monaco its first Admiral’s Cup victory at the first attempt is simply extraordinary." The remarkable collaboration of the Club, the crew, and the support staff was paramount in their success.

Strong Contributions from Other Crews

The efforts of other YCM crews also contributed to the club's stellar performance. The impressive Black Jack 100, under the leadership of Remon Vos, sailed ahead of Leopard 3, claiming the Monohull Line Honours. Additionally, Oren Nataf helmed Rayon Vert to a respectable 19th place among multihulls, showcasing the club’s robust presence in various categories.

Looking Ahead: The Ocean Race Europe

With the Admiral’s Cup victory celebrated, the yacht club’s focus transitions to upcoming competitive endeavors. Will Harris and Cole Brauer are set to return to the ocean aboard Malizia-Seaexplorer for The Ocean Race Europe, which runs from mid-August to late September, stopping off at renowned ports such as Kiel, Portsmouth, and Genoa before finalizing the journey in Montenegro.
