Yacht Club de Monaco with Jolt 3 (11 pts) and Jolt 6 (15 pts) on 26 pts hold a one point lead after three races.
Second are the Royal Hong Kong YC with Beau Geste (17 pts) and Beau Ideal (10 pts) on 27 pts. And third Yacht Club Costa Smeralda tied on 34 pts with the Royal New Zealand yacht Squadron.
The opening inshore clash of the 2025 Admiral’s Cup took place in a shifty 16-knot breeze, building to over 20 knots by the second race, the fleet tore through tight courses in the Solent, trading blows in boat-on-boat duels that left no margin for error.
With the fleet fully loaded, every tack and gybe counted. The competition was ferocious from start to finish, with IRC corrected times so tight that podium places were decided by mere seconds. This wasn’t just close racing, it was full-throttle warfare on the water.
Winner of the AC1 first race Tuesday was Black Pearl GER from Jolt 3 MON with third Django ITA. The second race went to Jolt 3 MON with second Zen AUS and third again Django ITA.
In AC2 winners were, Callisto winning both races ahead of Beau Ideal in both races and third BARAKA GP NED in the first and Back to Black AUS in the second.
