After a break of 22 years, the renowned Admiral’s Cup is returning to the international yacht racing scene in July 2025.

Sailed out of Cowes on the Isle of Wight, off England’s South Coast, the event has attracted 15 two-boat teams from 13 countries, including Australia’s CYCA team. The Series will comprise a short offshore race and three days of inshore racing leading up to the famous Fastnet Race.

Bow Caddy Media will be in Cowes covering all of the racing, before heading to Cherbourg for the finish of the Fastnet Race. We’re looking forward to bringing you our coverage of the much anticipated return of this celebrated event.
