A record fleet of 80 yachts will be competing in the 9th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600 starting from Antigua this morning.
This year's race will see the most spectacular line-up of high performance boats and crews racing from 30 different countries.
The crew list reads like the 'Who's Who' of international sailors with hundreds of round the world, America's Cup, Olympic and Volvo Ocean Race professionals rubbing shoulders with passionate corinthian sailors on the same 600 mile race course around 11 Caribbean islands.
Check out the pre–event video below with an interview with RORC Commodore Michael Boyd of Dublin Bay.
