The RORC Caribbean 600 is a 600-nautical-mile offshore race organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, starting and finishing off Fort Charlotte, Antigua. First run in 2009 and held each February, the course loops around 11 Caribbean islands, including Barbuda, Saint-Barthelemy, Saba, and Guadeloupe, before returning to Antigua. It draws IRC and multihull entries plus grand-prix yachts chasing the elapsed-time record. It is the RORC’s flagship Caribbean offshore event.
