Star Chaser is Antigua and her first crew for the inaugural RORC Caribbean 600 Race have arrived and are settling in, getting to know the boat.
We’re putting the final touches to the boat before starting this new exciting race on Monday and exciting it will be! There are some good winds forecasted with a considerable sea (3-4m), so we’re happy to be on a good and fast Swan!
Today is our first of 2 training days to get our crew up to speed with the boat and make sure everybody knows what they are doing. Sunday will be a bit of relaxing and getting last things done to be race-ready for Monday morning. Star Chaser and her crew can’t wait to get started in this first edition of what is sure to become a must-do race on the offshore racing calendar.
