Adix - Richard Mille Cup 2026

Slider

The magnificent 64.5 meter three-masted schooner Adix will be competing in the Richard Mille Cup in Scotland from 15–25 June, where some of the world's most iconic classic sailing yachts will race against the breathtaking backdrop of Scotland's rugged west coast.

Originally launched in 1984 as Jessica at Astilleros de Mallorca to a design by Arthur Holgate, the yacht underwent a remarkable transformation in 1990. Dykstra Naval Architects was entrusted with a radical refit, reimagining her as the elegant three-masted schooner she is today. The project included a new schooner rig, a modern fin keel and a redesigned stern overhang, significantly enhancing her sailing performance and manoeuvrability.

The extensive rebuild was carried out by Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth, Cornwall, and the result was recognised with the "Best Refit" award by ShowBoats Magazine in 1992.

We are proud to see Adix continue her legacy on the racecourse and wish her crew a successful Richard Mille Cup in the stunning waters of Scotland!
