RORC Caribbean 600 Returns to Antigua for an 18th Edition

By Sailing Times Newsroom·14 September 2026·1 min read

The 18th RORC Caribbean 600 starts from Fort Charlotte, Antigua, on February 22, 2027. The non-stop 600-nautical-mile course loops the fleet around 11 Caribbean islands before returning to the finish in Antigua.

Run by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, the race has built a reputation as one of the most scenic and tactically demanding 600-milers on the calendar, with wind shadows off each island regularly reshuffling the fleet.
