🏆🚨 Official Announcement: RORC sets its sights on the 2027 Admiral’s Cup with a formidable two-boat entry.

RORC has announced its official team for the 2027 Admiral’s Cup, pairing James Neville’s Ino Veritas with Karl Kwok’s Beau Ideal. Rather than running separate campaigns, the two programs are collaborating closely on tech, data, and Solent training to sharpen their edge.

🗣️ “This time we have taken the team to another level and we are doing a lot more practice. We are looking at being in the Solent for three months before the event, so we have plenty of time to build up and prepare.” — James Neville

🗣️ “At the bottom of my heart we felt we could have done better last year. We were leading going into the offshore, but unfortunately things didn't work out. At the same time, we believe the next Admiral’s Cup is going to be even stronger, so we have to think outside the box.” — Karl Kwok

With three months of Solent practice scheduled and shared technical development across both boats, team RORC is leaving no stone unturned to bring the trophy home in July 2027. 🌊⛵
