SWAN YACHTS RACE IN CARIBBEAN RORC 600

With only days to go until the start of the RORC Caribbean 600 in Antigua, a fleet of international Swan’s are gathering to compete in the 605 nautical mile race. The race hosted by Antigua Yacht Club will commence on the 22nd February, the route will take in a unique offshore course in the waters around St Marten down to Guadeloupe. After the success of inaugural RORC 600 last year, there are a large amount of highly competitive entries this year.

Danilo Salsi’s, outstanding Swan 90, DSK (ITA), claimed line honours last year for a fixed keel monohull. This was an impressive achievement as it was the crew’s first race onboard DSK, with owner Mr. Salsi, which is a testament to the high performance of Nautor Swan yachts. Swan 38, Dolfijn (GBR), owned by Richard Bamford will also be racing, Mr. Bamford most recently competed in the Swan Transatlantic Challenge from Las Palmas to St. Lucia. The final Swan entered in this exquisite offshore race is Swan 56, Lolita (USA), owned by Clive Deasy.

Richard Bamford, owner of Swan 38, Dolfijn commented:
‘I have been offshore racing for 25 years, in races including the Middle Sea Race, the North Sea Race and Transatlantic yacht races. My Swan 38, Dolifijn performs excellently in all weather conditions, and Nautor Swan have a superior build quality to their yachts which means she can safely sail in all weather conditions. We are looking forward to the tropical Caribbean conditions for offshore racing that the RORC 600 enjoy’.
