It is renowned for being the toughest offshore race in the Caribbean and far harder than many first timers expect. The 16th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600 was not different. But to add to the action this year saw an impressive line up of Maxis and grand prix machines and some of the closest fought battles throughout the fleet in the history of the event.
PlanetSail takes you inside the strategy, challenges, and defining moments that led to victory in the 2025 edition. How was the race won? What made the difference on the water and why do the most seasoned offshore sailors call this one of the toughest races in the world?

Good coverage Matt
Thanks for the coverage, Matt. Well done.
Cheers
Great wrap report Matt! Provides valuable context the results alone can't do.
So how did the multis go?
Only mention of multihulls is there start time! Disappointing
Too much talk….
I wonder if Christian Zügel ever thought about how he is giving every non German speaker a hard time pronouncing his boat when he named her Tschüss. 😅
