Ropeye at the Heart of the Next Generation Racing Fleet
Admiral’s Cup & Rolex Fastnet Race 2025 – Event Recap
Over the past weeks, two of the most iconic events in the world of offshore racing took place: the Admiral’s Cup and the Rolex Fastnet Race. These events brought together the most advanced racing yachts and the most skilled crews from across the globe, all pushing the limits of performance, innovation, and seamanship.
At Ropeye, we proudly positioned ourselves at the center of the action. As part of our ongoing campaign “Ropeye – The Next Generation Rigging Gadget for the Next Generation Fleet”, we were on-site during both events, not only supporting our partners but also connecting directly with teams, checking in on the performance of our products, and collecting valuable feedback from the field.
More than half the fleet at the Admiral’s Cup were equipped with Ropeye products, and many of the Rolex Fastnet entrants relied on our gear as well. It was a true pleasure to see our solutions in action across some of the most advanced race boats in the world.
Our signature products the X Family Padeyes, Pro Loops for high-load applications, and Ropeye Loops continue to be our best-sellers and are trusted by top teams for their unbeatable combination of strength, weight, and reliability. They’ve become true cornerstones of modern rigging setups and are widely regarded as essential components on board.
Even more rewarding was seeing some of our newer innovations, such as the Stick-On Bolt, already being adopted by several teams. It’s clear that our development efforts are headed in the right direction and that’s thanks, above all, to the constant dialogue we maintain with the racing community. Listening to the needs of professionals, understanding their challenges, and designing with their feedback in mind is at the heart of how we operate.
As a young and dynamic company, we thrive on this kind of real-world testing and interaction. These events aren’t just a stage for high-performance sailing they’re also a proving ground for rigging evolution. We’re proud to be on board some of the most modern and decorated racing projects in the world.
A sincere thank you to all the teams and individuals who have chosen Ropeye. Your trust and your feedback drive us forward. Together, we’ll keep building smarter, lighter, and better gear for this next generation of racing yachts and the ones to come.
