Step aboard Avel Vaez for the Caribbean regatta season. Marsaudon ORC 57 — built to dominate the competition while offering luxurious comfort. Compete at the highest level against a backdrop of turquoise water, warm trade winds and the world’s most beautiful islands.
Avel Vaez is a standout in her class — a Marsaudon ORC 57 combining exceptional speed with unmatched stability. Lightweight construction and an innovative sail plan make her the perfect vessel for regatta enthusiasts looking to compete seriously while enjoying the Caribbean’s beauty.
The Caribbean regatta season runs roughly January through April: RORC Caribbean 600 (Antigua), Heineken Regatta (St Maarten), BVI Spring Regatta, Antigua Sailing Week, Voiles de St Barth. Avel Vaez has raced most of them and continues to. We run racing charters around these events — you can join as crew with experience, or come along as a racing guest.
The boat is built for speed: carbon mast, advanced sail technology, lightweight design that often outpaces the wind. Despite the performance focus, she remains stable in challenging conditions and comfortable to live aboard — essential for the longer offshore legs of races like the RORC 600.
The Marsaudon ORC 57 we race the Caribbean season with. Same yacht as our ocean crossings programme — different mission.
Whether you’re a seasoned racer or an adventurous sailor stepping into your first Caribbean regatta, the ORC 57 delivers both performance and comfort. Top-tier speed thanks to the advanced sail plan and lightweight build, unparalleled stability that allows less experienced racing guests to participate confidently.
