Local Antiguan boats and sailors are making a splash at the RORC Caribbean 600, and none more so than young sailor Emily Gaillard who is competing on Spirit of Juno.

It's a challenging race, but as Bernie Evan-Wong, owner of Taz (ANT) points out, Antigua has been doing a great job of encouraging youth sailing and it's producing some truly talented sailors who are taking on the world and winning.

Stay tuned for an unforgettable racing spectacle at the 2023 RORC Caribbean 600 starting on Monday 20 February. Race website: caribbean600.rorc.org
