Admiral’s Cup ohne Boris, mit Pierre, Will and Cole – Saturday 19 July – Channel Race Start

 

The Admiral’s Cup got underway with a light start for the 160nm Channel Race but by the next morning the fleet returned with all of the crews soaking wet and bleary eyed having gone through the wringer in the English Channel.
The building breeze topped out at 25 knots with a big and confused sea state for a full-throttle downwind leg back across the Channel, topped off with a screeching reach to the finish.
In AC1, Niklas Zennström’s Carkeek 52 Rán (KSSS) took race line honours for the Admiral’s Cup fleet but after IRC time correction, Giovanni Lombardi Stronati’s Wally Rocket 51 Django scored the best corrected time. Karl Kwok’s TP52 Beau Geste (RHKYC) corrected out in second by less than six minutes with Rán taking third.
In AC2, James Murray’s B&C 42 Callisto (RNZYS) took class line honours and the best corrected time for the class. Second after IRC time correction was Jolt 6 (YCM), co-skippered by Pierre Casiraghi & Tom Dawson. Karl Kwok’s Botin 41 Beau Ideal (RHKYC), skippered by Christopher Cowan, was third after IRC time correction.

In der Meldeliste finden sich eine monegassische TP 52 „skippered by Peter Harrison in the IRC Big Boat class, and the Carkeek 40 Jolt 6, helmed by Pierre Casiraghi.“

Update: Der Tracker nennt als Skipper der JOLT 6 neben Pierre Casiraghi auch Will Harris. 

Da mindestens ein Frau und ein Segler unter 27 Jahre an Bord sein muss, ist vermutlich auch Cole Brauer an Bord.

Cole Brauer will be racing on the Monaco Yacht Club entry Jolt 6 for the Admiral’s Cup. Cole made history in 2024 as the first American woman to race solo nonstop around the world. Originally from Long Island, she didn’t grow up sailing but discovered her passion at the University of Hawaii where she quickly rose to lead the team. In a short period of time her journey from underdog to global record-setter has inspired thousands, both on and off the water.

“I’ll be honest—I wasn’t initially thrilled about the crew rule requiring one woman on board. It felt like the bare minimum, and I’ve often found myself as the only woman on the team. While I respect and enjoy sailing with the guys, I truly believe crews perform better with more women involved. Women are just as talented, just as driven, and they deserve the same opportunities to gain experience and grow. It’s not about filling a quota – it’s about recognising skill and building diverse, high-performing teams. I hope that in five or 10 years, we won’t need a rule like this, because the sailing world will naturally reflect the talent of both women and men equally.”

Cole Brauer (Carkeek 42 Jolt 6)
