1st February 2025

Johnny Mordaunt, champion of the RORC East-West Transatlantic Race, has set his sights on the upcoming RORC Caribbean 600 from Antigua.

Johnny Mordaunt has spent many years building up international expertise in big boat prepping, tuning and racing, with the successful focus now on the Volvo 70 Tschuss which he co-skippers with owner Christian Zugel. They've notched several major offshore wins in Europe, but January saw them go deep sea for the first time as a team in the RORC's East-West Transatlantic Race.

They won this overall to leave Tschuss firmly placed in the Favourites' Enclosure for the RORC Caribbean 600 from Antigua in three weeks' time.
