The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) has announced its participation in the 2025 Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) Admiral’s Cup, one of the most celebrated team racing events in international yachting.
Representing the RNZYS will be an exceptional team of Callisto, a Custom Botin IRC 42 owned by James Murray, and Caro, a Custom Botin IRC 52 owned by Max Klink.
Traditionally raced in British waters, the Admiral’s Cup challenges teams of three yachts from each country to compete across a mix of inshore and offshore races. Its unique team-based scoring format makes it a pinnacle test
of skill, strategy, and seamanship.
In 2025, the competition returns with a revitalised two-boat team format, reflecting the evolution of the sport while preserving its heritage. RNZYS is putting forward a formidable pairing of vessels and crews as its representative team:
The 2025 RORC Admiral’s Cup will take place from July 17 to August 1 bringing together the world’s best sailors for
a thrilling showcase of teamwork, strategy, and endurance.
