RORC has confirmed Mach 50 Palanad 4 (FRA), owned by RORC Member Olivier Magre and skippered by his son Antoine Magre, also a RORC Member, as the overall winner of the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race on IRC corrected time. While competitors remained racing at sea, none could beat Palanad 4’s IRC corrected time, securing overall victory in one of offshore sailing’s most demanding ocean races. The French-flagged Mach 50 completed the 3,000 mile race from Lanzarote to Antigua in an elapsed time of 8 Days 5 hours 55 minutes and 50 seconds - a standout performance. The result marks a major milestone for both the Magre family and the innovative Mach 50 project, which has delivered overall victory in only its second offshore race, following its debut at the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race.
