RORC Transatlantic Race

From Lanzarote to the Caribbean

The RORC Transatlantic Race begins at Marina Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, launching a 3,000‑nautical‑mile offshore challenge from Europe toward the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Sailors from nearly 20 countries take part, navigating in high‑performance multihulls and monohulls alike, including Class40 and IRC divisions.

This non‑stop crossing tests endurance, weather strategy, watch systems and sail trim over more than ten days at sea.

Arrival in Grenada: the tropical finish

The race finishes at Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina in Grenada, where crews are welcomed ashore with cold drinks and local treats, from rum and spices to famous chocolate.

Port Louis Marina offers top‑class services in a striking lagoon setting near St. George’s and includes customs, immigration, restaurants and a friendly yacht‑support team.

For sailors wanting tropical sailing experiences, this finish opens access to the wider Caribbean cruising and racing calendar, including the RORC Caribbean 600 and Nelson’s Cup in Antigua.
