Why we love RORC Caribbean 600 race

When we first heard about this event in 2008 we thought that the combination of fantastic racing conditions with warm seas and steady trade winds sounded most unappealing. After all we’d rather be soaking, cold and freezing wet in the English Channel for sure.

No not really! We jumped at the chance of some fabulous sailing in sunshine so grabbed our shorts and t-shirts and made sure we were on the Caribbean 600 race entry list.

Racing on turquoise seas in brilliant sunshine against a keen fleet and stiff competition, with interesting navigation and tactics thrown in, this race really is perfect! We don’t think we need to really sell it to you any more! If you are feeling a bit low on Vitamin Sea in February make sure to join our crew for the best sailing fun in the sun! Plus some rum and reggae thrown in for good measure!
