18th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600

Every February, Antigua plays host to one of offshore sailing's most prestigious races. The RORC Caribbean 600 is a non-stop 600-nautical-mile course winding around 11 Caribbean islands - including Barbuda, Nevis, St Kitts, Saba and Guadeloupe - starting and finishing right here in Antigua near Fort Charlotte. Now in its 18th edition, the 2027 race sets off on February 22nd with over 500 sailors from around the world competing across IRC Offshore, Class40 and Multihull fleets. Organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club in association with the Antigua Yacht Club, it forms part of the world's largest offshore racing series alongside the Rolex Fastnet Race and Rolex Middle Sea Race. One of the great spectacles of the Caribbean sailing calendar - and Antigua is at the heart of it.
