Szymon Kuczynski's Figaro One Hultaj (POL), measuring only 9 metres in length, will be the smallest boat racing in IRC Two-Handed, alongside a total of five doublehanded teams.

 

It's worth noting that Hultaj is actually a large boat compared to the one Szymon used to set a world record in 2018 when he completed a singlehanded and unaided circumnavigation aboard the 6.3 metre sloop Atlantic Puffin over a period of 270 days.

 

Kate Cope's Purple Mist will also be competing in the Two-Handed race category with Co-Skipper Claire Dresser, following on from their success in the RORC Transatlantic Race - completing the race and becoming the first Two-Handed all-female team to do so.

 

The Two-Handed teams are competing in the RORC Caribbean 600 starting on Monday 20th February 2023 from Antigua.
