In ARC 2021, Another Brick won her Cruising division class so let\u2019s if we can do as well in ARC January 2023. In Nov-Dec 2021 our time for the crossing was 16d 17h 46m 34s.<\/em> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ARC-chart-image.jpg” title_text=”ARC-chart-image” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|16px|16px|16px|16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Atlantic Rally for Cruisers,\u00a0ARC<\/a><\/strong>, is the longest running annual transatlantic rally. In addition to the traditional November start, there is a second ARC start in January. The route is the same, from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria to Rodney Bay, St Lucia. The 2,800 nautical mile passage on the North East tradewind is a safe and enjoyable way to sail across the Atlantic. Compared to the November start, the trade winds are usually more settled in January, which makes for a more enjoyable crossing. Furthermore, the slight risk of a late hurricane in November is non-existant in January. As always, the ARC is characterised by a tremendous camaraderie between all those taking part. \u00a0When you set of you head South West\u00a0until the butter melts then turn right and point at the\u00a0Caribbean with the crossing taking 16 to 19 days.<\/p>\n The\u00a0ARC<\/strong>\u00a0fleet will start their Atlantic adventure on Thursday 12 January 2023 sailing directly to Saint Lucia, spending 2-3 weeks at sea on the classic trade wind route. The ARC offers more than a week of pre-departure program, fun competition for cruising sailors, or competitive racing, and a spectacular welcome in Rodney Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/arc_track.jpg” title_text=”arc_track” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” src__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We will be taking part in the ARC January 2023.
