The trade winds blew and the swell kicked up, giving teams the fantastic sailing conditions that are unique in the sailing world. Antigua is the spiritual home of the RORC Caribbean 600 and the yachting community once again delivered, welcoming every team at the finish with warm smiles and cold beer.

The overall winner of the 14th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600 was Roy P. Disney’s Volvo 70 Pyewacket 70 (USA). The Pyewacket 70 team were presented with the RORC Caribbean 600 Trophy at the Prize Giving on Friday 24th February. They join an impressive list of overall winners from the United States; Warrior Won, Wizard, Rambler 88, Bella Mente, Shockwave, Proteus, Privateer, and Rambler 100.

“Pyewacket 70 doesn’t go into these races necessarily thinking that a corrected time win is our goal, we go for Line Honours and potentially to set a new record. So, when a handicap win comes that is fantastic,” commented skipper Ben Mitchell. “This win is right up there with the biggest victories, and Pyewacket has had a lot of success with the programme. In recent years the RORC Caribbean 600 victory is right up there.”

Pyewacket 70 Crew: Ben Mitchell, Peter Isler, Tony Mutter, Brad Jackson, Brian Janney, Daryl Wislang, David Tank, Jan Majer, Mark Callahan, Matt Mialik, Robbie Kane, Rodney Daniel, Tristan Louwrens.

Pyewacket 70 was the winner of IRC Super Zero, second was Volvo 70 I Love Poland (POL) skippered by Grzegorz Baranowski. Third and the fastest VO65 was Wind Whisper skippered by Joca Signorini.
