Some of the world's best sailors, as well as corinthian crews seeking a tough challenge in this race around 11 Caribbean islands, will gather in English and Falmouth Habours and line up for the start on Monday 20th February. Some are returning to defend a previous win, others to simply complete the tactical course, but all will be seeking the challenge of the only offshore race in the Caribbean which has become a 'must do' event, joining the ranks of other classic 600-mile races.
