NOTICE OF RACE
w w w.a e g ea n 60 0.co m
The Hellenic Offshore Racing Club (HORC) is pleased to announce the
organization of the “AEGEAN 600”, a non-stop race of 600 nm in the
Aegean Sea, giving the opportunity to all participants to sail in the sea
which is considered to be the cradle of the western civilization. Our
ambition is to include this race in the international 600 nm classic
offshore races.
The HORC has organized, during its 60 years’ operation, many interna-
tional sailing events, most notably the Aegean Rally (now being in its
58th edition), the 1982 ½ ton, 1984 ¼ ton, 1989 ¾ ton, 2008 ORCi
World Championships, and many other international events in various
categories of Offshore Racing.
AEGEAN 600 will be held from July 4-10 2021. Xenios Zeus, the
ancient Greek god of hospitality, promises to provide to all crews excep-
tional hospitality and a good organization.
We look forward to host you in Greece in July 2021 in the first
edition of AEGEAN 600.
Ioannis Maragkoudakis
Commodore of Hellenic Offshore Racing Club
