          George Sakellaris’ Maxi72, Proteus (USA) has been declared the overall winner of the 2016 RORC Caribbean 600.

          Whilst several yachts are still racing, the remaining teams will be unable to better Proteus’ corrected time under IRC.

          Sakellaris was awarded the RORC Caribbean 600 Trophy for the best corrected time under the IRC Rating rule.

          It is the second time that George Sakellaris has skippered the overall winner, having won the 2014 race with Maxi72, Shockwave.

          Proteus was also the winner of the highly competitive IRC Zero class featuring four Maxi72s.

          Multihull record

          Hurtling around the Caribbean at speeds in excess of 30 knots and topping out nearer 40, often barely a boat length apart, the epic duel between MOD70s Concise 10 and Phaedo3 came to a conclusion after 32 hours of hot racing.
