The 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race is set to captivate sailing enthusiasts with complete tracking and live updates available through multiple platforms. Fans can follow the entire fleet,specific classes,or individual yachts via the YB Tracker,accessible online or through the YB App at https://yb.tl/fastnet2025.
The YB Tracker offers advanced features, including a pop-up leaderboard for each class and real-time IRC rankings calculated based on each boat’s rating. Spectators can also choose from four map types, overlay current weather data, and review past race movements. Building on innovations from the 2023 race, the tracker will again incorporate perimeter rings around key course marks like the Fastnet Rock, Bishop Rock, and the Cherbourg finish line. This enhancement allows for more precise leg-by-leg rankings, enriching the spectator experience.
For detailed results and to monitor which boats need to finish by a certain time to secure class wins on corrected time, the RORC’s SailRaceHQ results system is the go-to resource. It can be accessed at https://sailracehq.com/notice-board/c836d46a-cab4-4513-94b3-52fce97fc706/Race.
A live blog on the official race website, https://www.rolexfastnetrace.com/en/live-en, will provide continuous updates, including dispatches directly from the competing yachts.
