Two Visions, One Ocean: Raven and Be Cool Set the Tone for the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race
The RORC Transatlantic Race has always thrived on contrast. It is a race where outright pace meets endurance, where innovation rubs shoulders with tradition, and where vastly different yachts are measured by the same unforgiving yardstick: three thousand miles of Atlantic Ocean.
