The final day of inshore racing at the 2025 Admiral’s Cup delivered high drama, high stakes and no shortage of action, especially at race starts. Three intense races pushed crews to the limit and completed the six-race inshore series. With the discard now in play and Channel Race results factored in, the scoreboard couldn’t be tighter in AC1 - just a single point separates the top three contenders. Giovanni Lombardi Stronati’s Django WR51 (YCCS) holds a razor-thin lead over Peter Harrison’s Jolt 3 (YCM) and Karl Kwok’s Beau Geste (RHKYC). In AC2, tied on points for the class lead are James Murray’s Callisto (RNZYS) and Karl Kwok’s Beau Ideal (RHKYC). Pierre Casiraghi’s Jolt 6 (YCM) is third. After seven races, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is in pole position for the Admiral’s Cup. Yacht Club de Monaco is second and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda is third. (CC Available)
