Full Story:
For the first time in its history, the Yacht Club of Monaco will participate in the prestigious Admiral’s Cup sailing competition. The ambitious challenge will be undertaken by the Team Malizia, led by Pierre Casiraghi, and the Jolt boats, owned by Peter Harrison. The race will start in Cowes, Isle of Wight, from July 17 to August 1. The Yacht Club of Monaco’s involvement in this significant event was initiated by Peter Harrison, a club member and owner of the Jolt boats. Pierre Casiraghi, Vice President of the Y.C.M. and founder of Team Malizia, quickly supported the project. The 2025 edition will see the Y.C.M. align two boats: the TP52 Jolt 3, led by Peter Harrison, and the Carkeek 40 Jolt 6, skippered by Pierre Casiraghi. The team, composed of renowned sailors like Boris Herrmann, Will Harris, and Cole Brauer, will face tough international competition. The Admiral’s Cup, often regarded as the unofficial World Cup of offshore racing, is making a comeback after more than 20 years. The Y.C.M. will compete against more than 15 teams from legendary clubs like the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and the New York Yacht Club. The competition features technical coastal races and long-distance offshore courses. The event holds great importance for Monaco, with Prince Albert II, President of the Y.C.M., expressing his support for the sailors and their inspiring journey. It is a formidable challenge that Monaco is approaching with passion and determination.
