16th - 26th February [600 Race itself starts 22nd February] The RORC Caribbean 600 is now one of the worlds premier racing events, with many different legs around the Caribbean islands, sail changes, wind shifts and the cream of world offshore racing to compete within the comparative warmth of the Caribbean. The main 600 race will set off from Fort Charlotte, just outside English Harbour in Antigua. Heading north, the fleet will pass a mark off Barbuda, Nevis, Saba and St Barth's before circling St Maarten and heading down the west coast and round the south of Guadeloupe. Finally you will head back north to a mark off Barbuda, across to the tiny but spectacular 'Kingdom of Redonda' before returning to Antigua This exciting event attracts an incredible fleet including some of the top racers in the world but at the same time has plenty to offer enthusiastic amateurs and first time offshore racers. The Nelson’s Cup Series is a great addition offering three days of inshore racing before the main event .

Why We Love This Sailing Race
This 600 nautical mile classic meanders through the Caribbean. But don't be fooled into thinking this is an easy cruise. Atlantic swell, brutal island wind shadows and sharp acceleration zones make this race a navigators dream/nightmare!
