CaribbeanCaribbean 600
Arguably the best fleet
of offshore racing yachts
that has ever gathered in
the Caribbean, took part
in the 7th edition of the
RORC Caribbean 600. 66
yachts started the 600 mile
race around 11 Caribbean
islands, with numerous world
champions, America’s Cup
and Volvo Ocean Race sailors
taking part with passionate
Corinthian amateurs, many
of whom are members of the
Royal Ocean Racing Club.Ranging from the latest high
performance record breakers
to classic yachts from the
past, the variety of yachts and
sailors taking part shows that
the RORC Caribbean 600 has
a wide appeal and the growth
in popularity, year-on-year,
indicates a very healthy future
for the event.After a classic trade winds
start the wind shifted south
of east and decreased on
the second day, which
added gravitas to the tactical
decision making for many
yachts as they approached the
wind shadow of Guadeloupe.By day three, the trade
winds were back to provide
exhilarating racing for the
fleet. By day four, the wind
had built to over 20 knots,
with gusts in excess of 30
knots and the beat to finish
in Antigua from Redonda
became a real test for
the remaining yachts and
exhausted crew.- Monohull Line Honours:
