Race 5 kept the umpiring team of David Tallis and Richard Slater busy blowing whistles and pointing flags at the infringers. A dramatic top gate hook up between Hooligan’s protruding bowsprit and Ginger’s stern looked worse than it was with only some paint scraped off Ginger after the two crews separated the boats. As Hancock pointed out back at the dock, it’s the on-water umpiring that’s helped build the class’ strong camaraderie.

2023 RORC Caribbean 600 & RORC Caribbean 600 Series. The RORC Caribbean 600 is a totally unique annual race and will celebrate its 14th year in 2023. The race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), a London and Cowes based club with a worldwide reputation for the management of offshore races. Since its inception in 2009 the RORC Caribbean 600 has earned recognition as one of the world’s classic offshore races and is a firm fixture on the international racing calendar and on the bucket list of any serious offshore sailor. Starting and finishing in Antigua, the unique 600-mile course uses 11 Eastern Caribbean islands as turning marks, providing an interesting challenge for both navigators and crew. With such a long racing course, the finishing times can vary by days. The RORC work with Falmouth-based Antigua Yacht Club and their army of local volunteers, supporting the management of this great event. Every yacht to finish the race is met with a welcoming cold beer – much appreciated after the 600 nautical mile challenge! For the first time in 2023 RORC introduces the RORC Caribbean Series aimed at providing a mix of competitive inshore and coastal racing before embarking on the challenges of the classic 600 mile offshore race. The series is expected to consist of: • Two days of inshore and short coastal races on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 February 2023 • Layday on Thursday 16th February • The popular 360 Round Antigua Race on Friday 17 February • With prizegiving for the series joining the traditional opening party on Saturday 18 February • RORC Caribbean 600 starting Monday 20th February #Caribbean600 #RORCracing
