The Royal Ocean Racing Club recently announced the introduction of a new Transatlantic Race starting in November 2014.The inaugural race starts from Puerto Calero, Lanzarote to the Caribbean (destination to be confirmed). The 2,800 nm east to west race will act as a feeder for yachts participating in the 2015 RORC Caribbean 600, held annually in February from Antigua. The race, commencing over the weekend of the 29th and 30th November 2014, will be run under OSR Category 1 and the start date will allow time for competitors in the Rolex Middle Sea Race to get to the start of the RORC Transatlantic Race in good time and for the yachts to finish in the Caribbean before Christmas.
