"The RORC Caribbean 600 race is a different kind of sports challenge, in which the best boats and the best crews in the world will participate, like the Falcon and the Leopard. Competing against them on ENERGA is a privilege to me, especially since some Volvo Ocean Race competitors will be in Antigua, too. I just can’t help admiring all those boats, with their amazing hull shapes. Picture this: A fleet made of the most beautiful yachts over 50 metres in the world… I just can’t wait. ", said the Polish skipper.
