Merry Christmas guys! Thanks so much for your support in 2022 and I hope you really enjoy this time with your family & friends. Hopefully Santa got you your dream boat and you'll be out enjoying yourself this Christmas on the water! For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere I hope you're also having a great time with family and hopefully also using this time to get your antifoul and engine service done as summer 2023 is coming and I look forward to getting back up to your half of the world as soon as the temperatures start to warm up again! You're all legends! Merry Christmas Dan Jones

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

When this first showed up on our Instagram, our first thought was that is was probably some kind of skam, super hard to do and you would probably end up almost drowning.. Right, you are thinking the same thing right now - aren’t you? But honestly, it’s just as easy as it looks! And if you’re like me, not super strong and tall - you might also find this easier than climbing up the “normal” way. Especially if you are alone and afraid the dinghy will tip over. In my defence I have always been able to do a back roll on the ground. So I might have had the technique already in me. But let’s break it down: 1. Grab the handles on the dinghy with your palms facing up. If you have a dinghy with a high bow, place yourself a bit more aft. 2. Stretch your legs straight out, and keep your head close to the dinghy. 3. Take a deep breath and get ready to get your head under water. 4. Pull your legs towards your stomach as much as you can (knees towards face). 5. Start rotating by stretching your legs, starting by unfolding them by the knees. This creates a kicking motion and of you time it right this motion will bring you straight into the dinghy. A few tips: ✨Blow air out of your nose to not get water in it. ✨Your best point of reference will be your hands, aim just above your hands when straightening your legs to get your motion in the right direction. ✨ Afraid your head will hit the dinghy? It won’t! Good luck! 👍🏻
