Jason Carroll’s Argo Resets the Antigua 360 Benchmark Ahead of the RORC Caribbean 600

Jason Carroll’s MOD70 Argo stormed around the 48-nautical-mile circumnavigation in 2 hours, 29 minutes and 20 seconds, rewriting what is possible on Antigua’s classic coastal course. The numbers tell one story. The breeze told another. With 20 knots at the start and proper Atlantic swell wrapping the eastern flank of Antigua, the island delivered a course that was anything but flat water exhibition sailing. This was full trade-wind pressure, the kind that loads up the rig and punishes hesitation.
