Lanzarote to Antigua | Start Sunday 11 January 2026 The stage is set in the Canary Islands. On Sunday 11 January 2026, the RORC Transatlantic Race will once again send a diverse and compelling fleet westward from Marina Lanzarote, launching 21 teams on a 3,000-nautical-mile Atlantic crossing to Antigua. Organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club in association with the International Maxi Association and the Yacht Club de France, the race is both an early-season cornerstone and a statement event in the global offshore calendar.
