Jason Carroll’s MOD70 Argo (USA) 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. Argo Crew: Skipper Chad Corning, Pete Cumming, Sam Goodchild, Charles Ogletree, Alister Richardson, Brian Thompson. 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. (CC Available)
