6 July 2025 – Lavrion, GRE – At the very southern tip of the Greek mainland, near Cape Sounion in Attica, the start of the 5th edition of the AEGEAN 600 unfolded in perfect fashion: cloudless blue skies, crystal-clear waters, and a steady 12–15 knots of northerly wind to propel the fleet on their upcoming 605-mile odyssey through the Aegean Sea.
Race managers from the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club set the fleet off in three waves: 8 Multihulls, 4 Maxis, and then the remaining 46 Monohulls, scored under IRC and ORC. All yachts passed along the cliffside shoreline in front of the 2,500-year-old ruins of the Ancient Temple of Poseidon, where spectators enjoyed an aerial view as the teams left the Rolex buoy to starboard before bearing off, hoisting spinnakers, and surging south toward Milos, the first of 23 islands they will pass on this legendary course.
Information on the race, a complete list of entries, and the official Notice Board can be found here.
