ARC 2016 – Blue Water Yacht Options

Are you planning a future ARC adventure?

With the 2015 edition of the World Cruising Club’s ‘Atlantic Rally for Cruisers’ (ARC) starting from Las Palmas Gran Canaria on 22nd November, over 200 yachts of all types & sizes and from all nationalities will cross the start line ahead of a 2,700Nm adventure bound for St.Lucia in the Caribbean.

“The ARC is for everyone; families with children, tough racers, cruising couples, big boats and modest boats. Crossing the Atlantic together, but having their own adventures. More than just a boat race, the ARC is about friendships made ashore in the two weeks of pre-departure activities continued over the radio net at sea. It’s about arriving in Saint Lucia to be met on the dock with a rum punch and a chilled beer, knowing you have achieved something fantastic – crossing an ocean on a small sailboat.” (www.worldcruising.com)
