The Desk, on screen.
One event-coverage surface: the storylines, the conditions that shaped the race, the designs those conditions favored, the class breakdown, and the crews behind the results — with a publish rail that formats any sourced visual for web, social, or broadcast.
Media Desk, over the one App.
The same FleetEdge App every product runs on, curated to the media and content team: an event’s full anatomy — its history, its conditions, its classes, its crews — made publishable across every channel.
History & storylines
The event in its lineage and a ready set of lead stories — the result, the rivalry, and the design-and-conditions read.
Conditions & design fit
The wind the race lived in and which archetypes it favored — always together, with the results that confirm the read.
Divisions & classes
How the fleet broke down by class and archetype — the class picture behind the overall result.
Crews, form & crew PPI
The podium crews, their recent public form, and the public crew-execution read — who got the most out of the boat.
Confirm with provenance
Every claim traces to standings, certificate baseline, estimator, and date — so the number you print holds up.
Publish anywhere
One sourced visual, re-formatted for web embed, social card, broadcast graphic, or a full story pack.
Every panel above runs on instruments already live in the FleetEdge App: Headlines Story cards Archetypes × conditions Fleet scatter Wind-regime affinity Dimension stack ranking Crew PPI · public pillar Competitor context Boat detail
Deliberately not here: a team’s private workspace — deep crew what-ifs and rival gap detail belong to Team Diagnostic. Nothing publishes without its provenance chain, and the Desk explains results with evidence — it never alleges a boat was advantaged.

One desk covered the season’s two great races.
LEON, the French JPK-1050, won the Rolex Fastnet 2025 overall under IRC — and at the season’s other classic, MIN RIVER took the Rolex Sydney Hobart overall title. Two oceans, one season, one place the press box could follow both.
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.
LEON, in the product
The boat view: a LEANRUN production racer-cruiser whose record anchors the Fastnet story. This is the profile a journalist quotes at 23:40 on deadline.
Sydney Hobart — one boat, read in sequence
The same season’s other classic: MIN RIVER took the overall title on the published IRC ladder. A desk rarely stops at the winner, though — the sequence below is how any entrant’s story assembles, in three reads. Here: SHK SCALLYWAG, the Hong Kong 100-footer.
Where she fits. The cohort’s wind-regime map places every entrant by upwind/downwind balance and stability — SHK SCALLYWAG stands apart from the light-air pack, out on the heavy-air, stiff-platform side of the race.
The hull ladder. The ranked hull-efficiency board is the second read: she sits near the bottom of the slipperiness ladder — which sets up the question the detail panel answers.
The detail. The physics story panel resolves the tension: the platform trails the cohort on slipperiness while drive efficiency sits above the fleet median, heel sensitivity is low, and her strongest regime is upwind heavy — a stiff, rig-powered heavy-air profile whose headline results (top three in four of the five families on the cohort board) come from somewhere other than the hull ladder.
The Fastnet cohort, by archetype

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 at the Fastnet; MIN RIVER’s Sydney Hobart overall title) — re-verified against those pages at integration, metric labels reconciled 2026-07-14.
· The SHK SCALLYWAG sequence in section ③ reads directly from the product views pictured — every caption names which view it is of, and no figure is quoted beyond what the frames show.
· 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.

JPK-1050 · Valer J LEANRUN family Event: Rolex Fastnet Race 2025 Public-results-only
The winner, opened
This is the profile a journalist quotes on deadline — who the boat is, where the design comes from, and what the published record says: LEON, a JPK-1050 of the LEANRUN family, the boat that won the Rolex Fastnet Race 2025 overall under IRC at the centenary running, with the receipt attached to every line.
Where it placed
On the published record, LEON won the Rolex Fastnet Race 2025 overall under IRC at the 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.
The full standings live on the published Fastnet page; the press profile puts one entrant’s record in quotable form.
The plain-language read
Every figure in the profile arrives with its plain-language meaning and a provenance line — what the number says in a reader’s terms, and where it comes from — so the paragraph is publishable as-is.
