One boat linked the season’s two great races.

LEON, the French JPK-1050, won the Rolex Fastnet 2025 overall under IRC — and took second overall at the Rolex Sydney Hobart. Two oceans, one season, one boat the press box could follow.

Everything here is publishable as-is; the receipt travels with every figure.

Fastnet — the centenary, and a French one-two

On the published record LEON won IRC overall at the Fastnet’s centenary running — corrected pace 77.8 s/nm faster than the fleet’s ORC-median expectation over 695 miles — with LANN AEL 3 completing a French one-two ahead of every grand-prix program.

Sydney Hobart — second overall, behind MIN RIVER’s title

The same season’s other classic: LEON second on the published IRC overall ladder behind MIN RIVER’s overall win — a title the published record backs with a crew-effect figure (−55.5 s/nm against the ORC median) that puts the win on the water, not the rating.

What this page can and cannot claim.

· All results quoted are from the published FleetEdge Fastnet and Sydney Hobart pages (LEON’s −77.8 s/nm and the French one-two; MIN RIVER’s overall win and −55.5 crew effect) — re-verified against those pages at integration.

· The Sydney Hobart figures live across published cohorts (race, classified, multi-edition fleet) — every caption names which view it is of.

· Story framing follows the published record; no boats-to-watch projection is made on this page.

Media Desk is built on the FleetEdge story and archetype layer: Fleet Archetypes, the offshore race archive, and the definitions in Data Definitions.
