INTRODUCTION:

This annual transatlantic rally starting each November in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has now become the most popular way to cross the Atlantic. The largest transocean sailing event in the world, every year the ARC brings together over 150 yachts from all over the world. The Caribbean destination is Rodney Bay in St.Lucia, one of the most beautiful islands in the Lesser Antilles. The 2700 nautical mile passage on the NE tradewind route takes on average between 12 and 24 days.

The ARC is open to cruising monohulls from 27ft (8.23m) LOA and cruising catamarrans from 25ft to 60ft (7.62 - 18.29m) LOA, with a minimum crew of two. The World Cruising handicap is used to calculate results in the cruising classes, in which motoring is permitted. A racing class, rated under the IRC System , is run for those wanting more a competitive crossing, under the auspices of the Royal Ocean Racing Club. Yachts in this class may be sponsored. Motor yachts can also participate in the ARC in a separate division.

Conceived as a friendly race for cruising yachts to make the Atlantic crossing both safer and more enjoyable, participating yachts must carry a range of safety equipment including a liferaft, EPIRB and VHF radio. Daily radio nets contribute further to the safety of participants. The presence of experienced sailors is another incentive for those with little offshore experience.

The ARC has a special flavour, which successfully combines racers with cruisers, old with young, and provides entertainment for all. A wide ranging programme of entertainment takes place both before the start and after the finish. The ARC enjoys the support of the Tourist Authority of Gran Canaria, the Port Authority of Las Palmas, Alcorde Nautica and the St.Lucia Board of Tourism.

ITINERARY:

Gran Canaria - Start Venue for the ARC:

Gran Canria logoFrom the green seas of banana plantations along the northern coast to the lush gorges and pine forested mountains of the interior and the white sand dunes of Maspalomas in the south, it is easy to see why the diversity of Gran Canaria led to it being called "a continent in miniature". The rugged western coast has deep valleys forming tropical enclaves and small towns which retain a tranquil rustic air, so that it is hard to remember that the busy metropolis of Las Palmas is only a few kilometres away.

It is the all year round sunshine and sandy beaches of the south of the island which have lured North European visitors to these shores in their millions and in the last thirty years the coastal area has been transformed. From the Playa de San Agustin and Playa del Ingles to Maspalomas, large complexes of hotels, apartment blocks, villas and their attendant facilities have been built to cater for this influx.

Las Pamas marinaLas Palmas, the start venue for the ARC, is a modern bustling city, which has grown up around one of the busiest ports of Spain. The yacht marina lies at the southern end of the main harbour, halfway between the Vegueta and the Parque Santa Catalina. The pleasure port has been upgraded in recent years, with more pontoons being installed, new shower blocks and in 1996 a floating breakwater to add to its protection. The ARC has played its role in this improvement and the port authority acknowledged this by building a permanent office for the ARC at the southern end of the marina. The fifth ARC was marked by planting palm trees and the whole port has flourished with palms since then, living up to its name.

To learn more about the Canary Islands, in English, German or Spanish, visit the Canary Islands Website at www.grancanaria.com . To learn more about what's on in Las Palmas visit the Ayuntamiento website at
www.promocionlaspalmas.com (Spanish site only). ARC Marinas contact list here.

St.Lucia - Finish Destination for the ARC:

St Lucia logo St Lucia is known as Helen of the Caribbean being one of the Caribbean's most beautiful islands, with the rising volcanic peaks of the Grand and Petit Pitons, and landlocked Marigot Bay where a British naval fleet reputedly hid from the French at the time of the Napoleonic wars. The rule of St Lucia was disputed by the French and British until the latter established their claim in 1814. Independence was gained in 1979. St Lucia's culture is a unique mix of French, English and African influences, the French influence marked in the local patois and many of the place names.

Rodney Bay MarinaRodney Bay, on St Lucia's northern extremity, is the island's main yachting centre and landfall of all World Cruising's transatlantic events. Sailors are always warmly welcomed at Rodney Bay Marina which has a wide range of facilities and is located in a well-protected lagoon.

For more information on St.Lucia, its colourful history, exotic landscape and useful travel tips, visit the St.Lucia Tourist Board website. http://www.stlucia.org/

Norwegian yachtsman Stig Mathiassen participated in last year's ARC Antigua onboard "Najad Blue" a Najad 390. A keen amateur film maker, Stig has produced this short video of his crossing. It is great viewing and an ideal way to see what life at sea is like during an Atlantic crossing.
