RORC600

 Markus sails the RORC600 with a crew of 7 people. The Montana is of course a real exotic in the regatta field, in which many well-known racers are represented. For example, the 2021 Fastnetrace winner "Skorpios", a Clubswan 125, which is about to break the monohull course record. Almost all other ships are also designed as pure racing ships.

The Montana is the ship with the second-slowest rating, so finishing before the awards ceremony would be a huge achievement. After all, that would mean an average VMG of 6.25kt.

At the moment, a quarter of the way through, the goal is still possible. The average VMG up to now is 6.8kn. Unfortunately, a slightly weaker wind is forecast for the next two days. We will see...

After the calculated time, the Montana is in 10th place out of 17 participants in the CSA2 group shortly after passing Saba. However, the upwind to St. Barth is now in front of them and the distance to the ships in front, which then have wind brom behind on the way to St. Maarten, will increase again a little.

It remains exciting and more news will follow.
