The 40th edition of the Primo Cup was recently held at Yacht Club De Monaco, where fifty J70s competed.

Other fleets included Cape 31, Smeralda 888 and Longtze Premier, representing over ten countries.

In the J70 class, Ireland’s Team Wildcard, with a crew consisting of William Twomey, Richie Harrington, Marshall King, and Mario Segers, placed sixth overall. There was a solid Corinthian performance, with five boats inside the top 10. Wildcard placed 3rd in the Corinthian division. Local favourites G Spot successfully defended their title this year and were crowned champions.

Wildcard has a busy season ahead, including the European Championships in Italy and the Worlds in Palma.
