Hound (USA), the stunning 60-foot aluminium sloop designed by Aage Nielsen and crafted by Abeking & Rasmussen in 1970, is a magnificent sight racing in IRC One.

In addition to Hound, Marie Tabarly's classic 73ft ketch, Pen Duick VI (FRA) is also competing. With a storied history in ocean racing, Pen Duick VI has a new team on board since her completion of the RORC Transatlantic Race, as Marie selects the crew for the Ocean Globe Race later this year.

Dockside interviews with Marie Tabarly (Pen Duick VI FRA) and Dan Litchfield (Hound - USA).

These two beautiful classic yachts are competing in the RORC Caribbean 600 starting on Monday 20th February 2023 from Antigua.
