![]() ![]() ![]() Shannon Falcone (ANT), a two-time winner of the America’s Cup is racing his foiling F4 catamaran Falcon, and back after last year’s capsize is Greg Synstad’s Fujin (USA) with America’s Cup winner Peter Isler and Olympic Gold medallist Jonathan McKee on board. If the conditions are right, both teams are capable of eclipsing the Multihull Race Record set by Lloyd Thornburg’s Phaedo3 in 2016 (31 hours, 59 minutes, 04 seconds). The 2019 RORC Caribbean 600 is the first time that Maserati and Argo have lined up. Giovanni Soldini’s (ITA) Multi70 Maserati has been in fine form taking line honours in the Rolex Middle Sea Race and the RORC Transatlantic Race. Jason Carroll (USA) will be racing MOD70 Argo with Francois Gabart, winner of the 2012-13 Vendée Globe, and Jules Verne winner Brian Thompson (GBR). Ten multihulls will be racing, boasting phenomenal talent among the crews. Winners from the Olympic Games, America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean Race and multiple world champions have gathered in Antigua and will be competing alongside passionate corinthian sailors, both young and old. Seventy-eight yachts have entered the eleventh edition of the RORC Caribbean 600, where in excess of 700 sailors from six continents and yachts from over 20 nations will compete in the thrilling race around 11 Caribbean islands starting on Monday 18th February. ![]()
