RORC CARIBBEAN 600 STELLAR CAST BUILDING
Tuesday 30th January 2024

The 15th anniversary edition of the RORC Caribbean 600 starts in Antigua on 19th February, and since its launch last year, the RORC Nelson’s Cup Series provides an additional action-packed event with racing starting on 13th of February.

The RORC Nelson’s Cup Series is an ideal way to have a full racing programme of inshore and ‘round Antigua’ racing, as well as fun-filled social events in the build-up to the RORC Caribbean 600. The Series is also open to teams that are not entered for the 600-mile offshore. The latest stand-out teams to enter the RORC Nelson’s Cup Series are Wendy Schmidt’s phenomenal Botin 85 Deep Blue (USA), The Askew Brothers with their Botin 52 Wizard (USA), and James Neville’s Carkeek 45 Ino Noir (GBR). Peter and David Askew, overall winners of the 2019 RORC Caribbean 600 with Volvo 70 Wizard have recently acquired the former RORC Yacht of the Year and three-time winner of the Rolex Sydney Hobart, Ichi Ban. RORC Commodore James Neville’s Ino Noir will be defending his overall win under IRC for the Antigua 360, won on his previous boat Ino XXX.

RORC Caribbean 600 entries and interests are approaching 50 teams, with crew from all over the world relishing the prospect of superb, warm offshore racing in the Northern Hemisphere winter months. An impressive list of returning boats that have taken Line Honours, Overall, IRC, CSA and MOCRA Class wins, including: MOD70 Argo, Irens 84 Allegra, J/122 El Ocaso, Nielsen 59 Hound, JPK 1180 In Theory, Farr 100 Leopard 3, Multi70 Maserati, Lombard 46 Pata Negra, Pyewacket 70, JPK 1180 Sunrise, PAC52 Warrior Won, and MOD70 Zoulou.
