About the Caribbean 600 race

Course: Antigua – Antigua

Distance (nm): 600

The RORC Caribbean 600 has firmly established itself as a must-do modern classic for boats based on both sides of the Atlantic attracting many of the best racing yachts and crews from all over the world. 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 make this race such a favourite. Starting and finishing in Antigua means access is easy from around the world and the welcome is always warm and friendly.

One for the Bucket List!

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 course around the islands keeps the interest for 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. Two 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!
