Welcome back American owner, Pamala Baldwin who resides in Antigua. Her youth team on J/122 @team.liquid.racing aims to provide a steppingstone for good youth sailors, enabling them to turn pro on the race circuit. - Crew ages range from 20- 30 years, and 25 year old Jules White has a brilliant future. Liquid is a regular competitor on the Caribbean regatta circuit and has taken a third-place on the podium in the 2018 and 2019 RORC Caribbean 600. They aim to improve this in the Caribbean’s only offshore race this year. - #Caribbean600 📸 RORC / Tim Wright

@ilovepolandpfn gearing up for the RORC Caribbean 600! 💪🏽🌊 - I LOVE POLAND is the 2011 VO70 Puma Mar Mostro, designed by Juan K. This will be their second consecutive start in #Caribbean600 for this boat. It is also a project aiming to promote Poland through training and support of young and talented Polish sailors. The key goal is to allow Olympic or Europe and World medallists to continue their career through ocean sailing. But onboard there are not only champions, but also those who successfully went through national eliminations proving they will fit the crew. - “Our goal is to train as many young people as we can to give them a chance to be ocean racers, to develop their talents, to reach as high as they can” – says Grzegorz Baranowski, skipper and team leader. - "There is no other chance to become a good sailor than to train on a demanding boat. IRC Rating 0 will be a very challenging class this year – let’s see how the young crew will perform and wish them all the best. - 3 days to go! Join us LIVE on Facebook at 1050 AST for the start from Fort Charlotte. - #Caribbean600 📸 @ilovepolandpfn

Adrian Lee (Lee Overlay Partners) was the first-ever winner of the RORC Caribbean 600 Trophy, having won the 2009 race with his Cookson 50. 🏆 - He’s very keen to see how the @nautorswan_official 60 he bought in 2017 will perform. They won their class in 2019 @sailingweekantigua and he says its a lot more comfortable than the Cookson 50. This will be his 7th RORC Caribbean 600 (2009, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) and his team is made up of Irish, Australian, British, South Africa, Swedish and American crew members. - #Caribbean600

Royal Ocean Racing Club - since 1925

The RORC was founded in 1925 to encourage long distance yacht racing and the design, building and navigation of sailing vessels in which speed and seaworthiness are combined. Today the club encourages ocean, long distance and other forms of yacht racing and yachting activity.
