The winner of IRC Two in the Rolex Fastnet Race was Juzzy, who emerged victorious in a wet and windy Cherbourg after a closely contested race. The crew of Juzzy, skippered by Thomas Bonnier and co-piloted by David Prono, were both experienced offshore racers, with Bonnier having competed in the Mini Transat in the past. Despite Bonnier's experience, it was his first time competing in the Fastnet Race, having been interested in it since he had to withdraw from the race as a teenager due to dismasting. Bonnier and Prono pushed their boat hard in strong winds, with speeds of 21 knots, to secure their victory.
Festa 2 finished in second place on corrected time but was demoted to eighth due to a premature start penalty. Jean Francois Hamon, the skipper of Festa 2, enjoyed the challenges of the race despite the penalty, particularly the gusts of up to 40 knots encountered, leaving the Solent and rounding the Fastnet Rock. Maxime Mesnil's J/99 Axe Sail took second place in class, with Frederik Nouel's Karavel finishing third and Christina and Justin Wolfe's Red Ruby coming in fourth.
The close finish times in IRC Two made it one of the most competitive classes in the race.
