YC Monaco wins Admiral’s Cup and became the first team from the principality to win this prestigious trophy after an exhausting series of regattas that culminated in the renowned Fastnet Race.
A historic triumph for Monaco sailing
This victory represents a significant moment for Monegasque sailing and the Admiral’s Cup, a competition with a rich tradition that has been revitalized. The Monaco Yacht Club demonstrated exceptional skill, teamwork, and endurance through all stages, proving their dominance at sea.
The culmination in the Fastnet Race, known for its challenging conditions, only further confirmed the strength and preparedness of the Monegasque team. This is a triumph that will undoubtedly resonate in the world of sailing and solidify the Monaco Yacht Club’s position as one of the leading clubs on the international scene.
The return of a legendary competition
After a two-decade hiatus, the Admiral’s Cup, a competition that had been considered the unofficial world championship of offshore sailing since 1957, finally returned. This prestigious event traditionally brings together national teams, with each team consisting of two or three top monohull yachts. They compete in a series of extremely demanding races, both offshore and closer to the coast. The team’s overall results are based on the combined performance of all entered vessels.
