Black Jack 100 continues her winning form

Black Jack 100 continues her winning form with a new aft rudder.

Ellis Engineered provided the composite structural engineering for the rudder, including first-principle calculations to the DNV Yacht Rules and detailed finite element analysis.

Since the rudder was fitted, Black Jack 100 has claimed Monohull Line Honours and a division overall victory in the 2026 Newport Bermuda Race, followed by Line Honours in the 2026 Palermo–Montecarlo Race.

Congratulations to the owner, skipper and entire Black Jack 100 team.
