OFFSHORE RACING

“To me, racing is a magnifier for sailing and all that it entails: teamwork, leadership, adventure, freedom, exploration, challenge, human connection, connection with nature. It is a fast track way to producing exceptional sailors & creating profound sailing experiences. Sharing this opportunity with regular sailors like you is the most rewarding thing I get to do on the water!”
— Nikki Henderson

Join us in Malta for the Rolex Middle Sea Race! This Mediterranean offshore classic is one of the world's iconic 600-mile offshore races, alongside the Fastnet and the Sydney-Hobart. Steeped in history, the race originally came about due to a rivalry between members of the British Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Royal Malta Yacht Club in 1968. Starting and ending in Malta, the counter-clockwise racecourse circumnavigates the island of Sicily and is known for its changeable weather conditions, and unrivaled natural beauty.

Join us in Antigua for the legendary RORC Caribbean 600! This is offshore sailing at its most exhilarating: navigating around volcanic peaks, surfing Atlantic swells under spinnaker, bashing into 20 knots of wind and surface ocean currents and making tactical calls to sneak around lee shores. The course is not just beautiful—it’s one of the most technically interesting of all the offshore races in the world. Before the race begins, you’ll spend a full week in Antigua sharpening your skills with intensive sail training before the race.

We are planning to add other Offshore Races in 2026, they will be published here later in 2025.
