RORC Transatlantic Race
Jason Carroll’s MOD70 Argo (USA) has claimed Multihull Line Honours in the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race, crossing the finish line off English Harbour, Antigua, on Friday 16 January at 12:31:15 UTC. In doing so, Argo set a new Multihull Race Record for the Lanzarote–Antigua course of 4 days, 23 hours, 51 minutes and 15 seconds, setting the multihull benchmark for this iconic Atlantic route.
Hot on Argo’s heels was Erik Maris’ MOD70 Zoulou (FRA), finishing just 2 hours and 32 minutes later after five days of relentless, high-speed combat across the Atlantic. The result was the culmination of one of the closest and most intense multihull battles ever seen in the RORC Transatlantic Race.
From the moment the fleet cleared Lanzarote, the two MOD70s were locked in a private duel at the very front of the race, separated by mere miles, matching each other stride for stride at sustained speeds well above 30 knots.
