LANZAROTE, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Two of sailing's most ‌fearsome speed machines are preparing for another high-stakes duel across the Atlantic, with the MOD70 trimarans ‌Argo and Zoulou set to renew their rivalry in the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race starting on ‌January 11 in Lanzarote.

The American-flagged Argo, skippered by Jason Carroll, and France's Zoulou under Erik Maris can sustain blistering speeds exceeding 35 knots (40 miles per hour) as they battle over 3,000 nautical miles to the finish in Antigua.
