Black Jack 100 breaks Palermo-Montecarlo record, secures victory for Yacht Club de Monaco
Posted by Jack Brodie, Editor-in-Chief | Aug 23, 2024 | Sport
After nine years, the Palermo-Montecarlo record has finally been broken. The new record was set by the maxi yacht Black Jack 100, helmed by Yacht Club de Monaco member Tristan Le Brun, who completed the 500-nautical-mile journey from Palermo, Sicily, to Monaco in 1 day, 20 hours, 34 minutes, and 22 seconds. This achievement shatters the previous record set in 2015 by Esimit Europa 2, which is in fact the former name of Black Jack 100.
The Palermo-Montecarlo race, organised by the Circolo della Vela Sicilia in collaboration with the Yacht Club de Monaco and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, saw participation from around 50 international teams this year, including notable entries like Andrea Statari’s Comet 45s Gorilla Gang XL and Paul Basson’s Swan46 Foreign Affair, both representing the Yacht Club de Monaco.
The race began on Tuesday, August 20, under windy conditions that saw competitors racing up the coasts of Sardinia and Corsica at full speed. The battle between Black Jack 100 and the American yacht Lucky, helmed by Bryon Ehrhart, kept spectators on edge as the two crews sailed neck and neck for much of the race. Ultimately, Black Jack 100 pulled ahead midway through the course, securing a 44-minute lead by the finish.
This victory not only makes Black Jack 100 the real-time winner but also crowns it the new record holder of the Palermo-Montecarlo race. The crew will receive the Giuseppe Tasca D’Almerita Trophy for their achievement.

Carleton Golf and Yacht Club set to host 2024 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO
Manotick, Ont. – The 156-player field will gather August 19-23 for the 2024 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship at the Carleton Golf and Yacht Club in Manotick, Ont.
The Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship is a 72-hole stroke play event, with a 36-hole cut to the low 70 players and ties happening after the second round. The championship also includes an inter-provincial team competition that will take place over the first two rounds of play. The lowest two scores out of three team members, over 36-holes will determine the winner of the Inter-Provincial Team Championship. The Mid-Amateur division will run concurrently with the Mid-Master division for players 40 and older. 145 Canadian competitors are joined in the field this week by 11 Americans —namely the 2023 runner up and third place finishers: Ryan Terry (Tennessee) and Derek Meinhart (Illinois).
“We are extremely excited to be hosting the 2024 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur, presented by BDO at Carleton Golf and Yacht Club. The host club organizing committee has been working tirelessly to make sure his event is a success for players, family members, volunteers, and everyone involved,” said Golf Canada’s Tournament Director, Daniel Suppa. “We appreciate the support and look forward to hosting the elite group of golfers at one of the Ottawa regions premier golf courses.”
Joseph Deraney of Belden, Miss. won the 2023 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, following rounds of 72-69-69-68 for a total score of 10-under (278), enroute to claiming the national title. Deraney will not be competing in Manotick.
The field comprised of golfers aged 25-and-over, will navigate the scenic and challenging layout that winds its way through mature trees, lush fairways and picturesque water features. The Carleton Golf and Yacht Club is known for its past rich history, hosting various championships and national events including the PGA Seniors’ Championship.
Established in 1963 by American entrepreneur Mort Kalin, who had a vision to build the first community in North America to integrate housing and golf, Carleton is situated in the centre of a dynamic community actively connected to the Club. Surrounded by houses and bordering the Rideau River, it originally featured a yacht club and is the only course in Ottawa accessible from the water. Dedicated members and a commitment to creating a superior golf experience has resulted in a premier course that offers many challenges. The Club prides itself on creating friendships and lasting memories through golf and social activities.
“ Hosting the Canadian Men’s Mid-Am Championships at Carleton Golf and Yacht Club is a dream come true. It’s not just about the tournament; it’s about celebrating the spirit of golf, camaraderie, and sportsmanship. From showcasing our beautiful course to welcoming talented players from all over Canada, this event is a true symbol of the passion and countless hours of dedication to the game of golf,” said Tyler Fitzgerald, Director of Golf at Carleton Golf and Yacht Club. “We can’t wait to create lasting memories and share the joy of the game with everyone involved.”
Charles Fitzsimmons of King, Ont. won the Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship back-to-back years in 2021 and 2022 and placed third at the 2019 championship. He returns this year hoping to etch his name on the national title for a third time.
Previous winners of the championship include one of Canada’s top-ranked men amateur golfers, Garrett Rank of Elmira, Ont., who won the event three years in a row from 2014-2016; Graham Cooke who won it seven times between 1987 and 2002; and Stu Hamilton who won it on four separate occasions between 1990 and 1994.
Manitoba is will be well represented this week with 11 players teeing it up on Tuesday.
