RORC Transatlantic Race 2026 Articles
The fleet lined up off Marina Lanzarote on 11 January 2026, few pairings will capture that spirit better than Raven and Be Cool — two maxi yachts that could scarcely be more different in philosophy, yet share a single ambition: to cross the Atlantic fast, safely and competitively.
One is razor-sharp, foil-assisted and engineered for sustained high averages. The other is powerful, refined and resolutely owner-focused, blending luxury and performance in a way only a Swan can.

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.
