At a time when the northern hemisphere is in the grips of winter, the promise of the challenging and tactical course weaving between the Leeward Islands with warm sunshine and steady trade winds makes this race such a favorite. Starting and finishing in Antigua means access is easy from around the world and the welcome is always warm and friendly.
RORC Caribbean 600 is an offshore race with some of the best scenery that the Caribbean has to offer. 605nm of racing around 11 Caribbean islands, starting and finishing in Antigua. The figure of eight courses around the islands keeps the interest of both crew and navigators.
The Caribbean is an offshore racing paradise. Sunshine, shorts, warm seas, tropical islands, and wind! Do not be fooled, this is not an easy race, it is challenging and offers great sailing to both novice and experienced sailors. We will guide you through the course and you will become part of a competitive team with our ongoing race training.
The race itself takes between three to five days depending on the weather. Three days prior to the start we will have race training. Before and after the race you can enjoy the amazing hospitality Antigua has to offer. With the party atmosphere and like-minded sailors, it is a great place to be!
