The Ministry of Tourism and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority have both signed a four-year contract to continue to host the RORC Caribbean 600 race.
The agreement was signed at the Ministry of Tourism by Minister of Tourism and Investment, The Honourable Charles Fernandez, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority Colin C. James and CEO of the Royal Ocean Race Club (RORC) Jeremy Wilton.
This year, the race attracted 74 teams with 738 sailors from 32 different nations, setting a record for the most impressive fleet in the 14-year history of the event.
Minister of Tourism, The Honorable Charles Fernandez said, “We continue to globally promote and position Antigua and Barbuda as a safe and picturesque location for the sailing community to enjoy local, regional and international regattas throughout the year.
“We are also thrilled to have opportunities where we can expose our Antiguan and Barbudan talent and spotlight their performance, as was seen in this year’s race.”
