Ino Noir
Former RORC Commodore James Neville’s Carkeek 45 Ino Noir has raced thousands of miles in the build-up to the Admiral’s Cup, including winning class for the 2025 RORC Transatlantic Race. The majority British crew includes Jack Trigger who was the youngest skipper to compete in the Route du Rhum. Trigger has also sailed in the IMOCA 60 fleet, including working with Alex Thomson Racing, and has experience in The Ocean Race. Youth America’s Cup Winner and Figaro sailor Rob Bunce is also on the Ino Noir team. Highly experienced sailors include Martin Watts and John Hunter-Hamilton that have been part of record-pacing MOD70 teams.
Garm
The crew on Per Roman’s JPK 1180 Garm is a mixture of Swedish and Spanish sailors. The pick of the highly experienced Spaniards is Gustavo Martínez Doreste. The two-time Olympian has won multiple World Championships in one-design classes. Garm’s owner Roman has twice come runner-up at the J/80 World Championships and is an IRC European champion. Garm is one of three JPK 1180s competing, all of which have been modified, which should provide a fascinating battle within the class.
