Rolex Middle Sea Race competition

Overview

The 47th Rolex Middle Sea Race began with the maxi yacht Black Jack 100, skippered by Tristan Le Brun, establishing a 25-nautical-mile lead for line honours while racing along the north coast of Sicily. Despite this physical lead, the IRC 1 standings at that stage placed Mills 72 Balthasar in the top position, followed by Django 7X and Black Jack 100.

As the 606-nautical-mile race progressed toward its conclusion in Malta, Django 7X, owned by Giovanni Lombardi Stronati, secured a provisional lead in both the IRC 1 class and the overall standings on time correction. This shift occurred following a competitive duel with Mills 72 Balthasar, as Django 7X gained ground during increased wind conditions on upwind legs. Other notable results included Colombre winning the IRC 6 class and the double-handed crew category, while Daguet 5 held a provisional lead in IRC 2.
