The RORC Transatlantic Race 2018, in association with the International Maxi Association, joined up with the Atlantic Anniversary Race last year to see a total of 23 boats take the start, hailing from a total of 9 different nations. Preparation for the race is intense and the race enjoys the expertise of many well-known professional crew, setting the pace for the fleet. At the head of the race is the prestigious team of the Royal Ocean Racing Club, organisers of a multitude of top-level international yachting events such as the legendary Rolex Fastnet Race and the fast-growing Caribbean 600. At the same time, the event also provides the opportunity for newcomers to take part in an exhilarating transatlantic adventure, where good teamwork is essential and basic comforts put aside in the interests of maintaining an optimum competitive edge. Crews number between 20 and 2 and boat lengths between over 30m and 11m, creating a varied and interesting fleet.The race ends in Grenada in the Caribbean with a warm welcome from Port Louis Marina and island officials.
