Remon Vos’ Black Jack 100, skippered by Tristan Le Brun, has claimed Monohull Line Honours at the 2025 Rolex Middle Sea Race, crossing the finish line in Valletta’s Grand Harbour at 05:44:07 CEST on Tuesday, 21 October.
The Australian-built maxi completed the 606-nautical-mile course in an elapsed time of 2 days, 17 hours, 44 minutes, and 7 seconds, marking another impressive chapter in the event’s storied history.
After a challenging race marked by light and variable winds, Black Jack 100 managed to stay clear of the fleet and maintain control through the final stages, despite the unpredictable conditions that slowed progress across much of the course.
Owner Remon Vos and skipper Tristan Le Brun led a highly skilled international crew, combining precision, endurance, and tactical expertise to secure victory.
