Type: Transoceanic
Main Features
Ahoy, sailing enthusiasts! ARC Plus isn’t just an ordinary race; it’s a wild adventure that takes you on an unforgettable journey. Starting in Gran Canaria, the energy in the air is electric. Crews from all over the world gather, sharing stories and dreams of the open ocean. As we set sail, the ocean reveals its secrets, from playful dolphins that swim alongside our boats to the breathtaking sight of a full moon reflecting on the water.
The route takes us through some of the most remote and beautiful parts of the Atlantic. There are days when the wind is in our sails, and we glide across the water with ease. Other times, we face challenging weather, but that’s all part of the thrill. What makes ARC Plus truly special is the sense of community. On the radio, we hear from fellow sailors, offering advice, sharing a laugh, or just checking in.
When we finally reach Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, it’s a moment of pure celebration. The warm Caribbean welcome, with its music and delicious food, is the perfect reward for our hard work. And let’s not forget the many crews who use this opportunity to raise funds for important causes, showing that adventure can have a big heart.
Boat Types and Requirements
One of the best things about ARC Plus is its inclusivity. Whether you’re sailing a sleek, high – performance yacht or a cozy, family – friendly cruiser, you’re part of the fleet. Solo sailors can test their limits, while couples and families can create memories that will last a lifetime. All we ask is that your boat is seaworthy, reliable, and ready to take on the Atlantic.
