A vision realised in Lanzarote “From the very beginning in 2014 this race has been a labour of passion for my family, my team and our partners,” commented José Juan Calero, CEO of Calero Marinas. “Creating an offshore race across one of the world’s great oceans was a real challenge at the time. The early years were not easy, entries were limited, but with the unwavering loyalty and support of the Royal Ocean Racing Club, we believed in the vision and kept moving forward. “Today, the RORC Transatlantic Race is firmly established as one of the reference events on the global offshore calendar, and that makes us immensely proud. To witness the start here in Lanzarote was deeply emotional; from the first foiling superyacht ever to start this race, to the intense match racing between the MOD70s and the extraordinary diversity of crews and boats. Watching the fleet depart past Puerto Calero, where our family’s story began, felt like both a farewell and a celebration. This race represents ambition, perseverance and the true spirit of offshore sailing.”
