4 days into the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race, the fleet has fully escaped the Canary Islands and locked into the rhythm of the trade winds.
At the very front of the fleet, the Mod 70 trimarans are delivering a jaw-dropping masterclass in extreme ocean racing. Jason Carroll’s Argo, and Erik Maris’ Zoulou, are routinely charging through the high twenties and punching past 30 knots as the breeze builds.
As of 1400 UTC on Wednesday 14 January, Argo holds an advantage of approximately 50 nautical miles over Zoulou, and is just over 1,000 miles from the finish in Antigua. At this pace, the Mod 70's are shaping up for a crossing time of under five days,.
While Argo sits confidently in the driving seat, Zoulou remains very much in range, with only hours separating them if the conditions tighten.
