04 Mar RORC Caribbean 600 Antigua
February 24th, Antigua
With five examples of Nautor’s Swan participating, the 2020 RORC Caribbean 600 wrapped up on February 28 in the stunning setting of the Eastern Caribbean.
After a sublime start and a reach up to Barbuda in beautiful conditions, the majority of the fleet found themselves trapped by the wind shadow of Barbuda, only to see the breeze build again for the second part of the course.
With a 8th place in Line Honours Monohull, Swan 95 Lot99 was the fastest Swan Yacht. Nevertheless, with a 7th place in IRC overall the best-placed Swan iwas Placido Arango’s Swan 65 Libélula, which was awarded the Swan Caribbean Challenge Trophy during the final prize-giving. This classic 1975 Swan 65 has been restored by Nautor’s Swan Authorised Service Center EMV Marine. Good job also for Swan 60 Lee Overlay Partners II was 13th and Swan 80 Umiko 24th
