Embark as a teammate racing on the RORC Transatlantic Race.
Calling adventurous sailors for legendary RORC Transatlantic Race from Lanzarote to Grenada in January 2025.
The RORC is a “offshore” race of more than 3000 nautical miles (5500 km) and you’ll be at the helm on board a crewed Volvo 60 to enjoy a unique offshore racing experience in the IRC Zero class. The boat was designed and built for the Volvo Ocean Race 2001-02, the crewed round the world race. Hired under the name of Djuice Dragons, she was skippered by sailing greats Knut Frostad, with Thomas Coville as Watch Leader and Jean-Yves Bernot as Navigator.
This is a unique opportunity to challenge yourself in the fleet and experience extraordinary moments within a crew throughout a training program over 3 days before leaving Lanzarote or while delivering from Lorient in South Brittany.
You will be part of the crew of a Volvo 60, 19.50m racing monohull that is supervised by four professional sailors (skipper Captain 200 Sailing, navigator, number one and tactician). This experience is perfect for competitive spirits and getting involved as a teammate in an event like this, whatever your level of sailing experience, is not trivial. Your teammates are there to win! The boat is an efficient and extreme racing sailboat. It is a demanding and powerful unit, a Formula 1 of the seas with very spartan comfort.
