The Rolex Fastnet Race 2025 | Admiral Class start at the Fastnet Race

The Rolex Fastnet Race 2025 | A different POV of the Admiral's Cup Class start.– with only one of the Bow Caddy team being given a spot on the media rib, our trusty videographer made her way down to the shore and shot from the pebbly beach. Whilst we were able to get close, seeing through the spectator boats certainly gave it a different perspective.

The Australian entries of ZEN (Sail Number 52001 with ‘WHAT A DROP’ on the sail can be seen in various shots, BACK2BLACK is a little harder – she is only visible towards the later part of the video. Her sail number is AUS 1. Our stills photographer came back from the media boat trying not to sound too happy! Good luck to Zen and Back2Black.
