The 13th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600 started on time from Antigua on Monday 21 February.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The IRC Super Zero start was nothing short of hell-raising, with Comanche reaching at full speed towards the Pillars of Hercules, then hardening up to take the inside line perilously close to the cliffs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VO65 Groovederci Racing – Sailing Poland, sailed by Deneen Demourkas was in close quarters. As the two leaders tacked out, they crossed with the massive ClubSwan 125 Skorpios (MON) and the Volvo 70 Ocean Breeze coming inshore on starboard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the MOCRA start, Peter Cunningham\u2019s MOD70 PowerPlay (CAY) flipped a wheelie on final approach before blasting off into the lead in a ball of spray at over 25 knots.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seventy-four teams with over 700 sailors from 32 countries started the race. The Royal Ocean Racing Club\u2019s 600-mile race around 11 Caribbean islands had a spectacular start with 15 knots of wind from the northeast gusting up to 20 knots.<\/div>\n

Fleet Snapshot: DAY 1 – 1500 AST 21 February<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Four hours into the race, Giovanni Soldini\u2019s Multi70 Maserati (ITA) was leading the Multihull Class from Peter Cunningham\u2019s PowerPlay and Jason Carroll\u2019s Argo (USA). In the race for Monohull Line Honours, the leader by just a mile, was Dmitry Rybolovlev\u2019s ClubSwan 125 Skorpios, skippered by Fernando Echavarri. The VPLP\/Verdier 100 Comanche, skippered by Mitch Booth was second on the water. With just over two hours to go until the first sunset of the race, the majority of the fleet were making good progress to Barbuda, the first and only mark of the course.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe start was just incredible, it\u2019s rare to see so many big boats in a start like that, just taking it on, but it was not just the big boats. This fleet is stacked right through all the classes, with competitive starts the whole way through. Good luck to all the teams,\u201d commented Race Director Chris Stone. \u201cMaking sure the fleet get away to a good start is the first part of this stage of the race management. We continue to focus on the safety aspects out on the race course. There will be different weather conditions and some parts of the course are pretty treacherous. For the RORC Race team it is about keeping the fleet safe, with 24-hour monitoring for every boat.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
