Jason Carroll’s MOD70 Argo (USA) has won Multihull Line Honours in the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race. As Afloat reported previously, Argo crossed the finish line off English Harbour, Antigua on 16 January at 12:31:15 UTC. It set a new multihull course record of 4 days, 23 hours, 51 minutes, 15 seconds.
Skipper Jason Carroll said the performance was “a testament to the crew and the boat”. The record covers the Lanzarote–Antigua route.
French MOD70 Zoulou, skippered by Erik Maris, finished second just 2 hours 32 minutes behind Argo after five days at sea. Maris described the duel as “intense from start to finish”.
Both MOD70s led the fleet from the start, trading positions and matching each other at sustained speeds above 30 knots. The pair dominated the race across the Atlantic.
Argo’s crew included Chad Corning, Pete Cumming, Sam Goodchild, Charles Ogletree, Alister Richardson and Brian Thompson. Zoulou’s team featured Bruno Jeanjean, Miles Seddon, Ned Collier Wakefield, Paul Larsen and Thierry Fouchier.
The race finishes with a trophy presentation attended by RORC CEO Jeremy Wilton and Antigua & Barbuda’s Minister of Tourism, Charles ‘Max’ Fernandez.
