The start of World ARC adventures

World ARC is truly the adventure of a lifetime sailing the oceans in the company of like-minded cruisers and with a dedicated rally team to make the most of time ashore and provide peace of mind at sea. Starting from Saint Lucia, this year two fleets of sailors from different nations, backgrounds, and experiences came together to form a unique ocean-crossing community, ready to make lasting memories together with World ARC 2023 and World ARC Pacific. 

Request an information pack for the 2024 edition at www.worldcruising.com and select ‘Tell me more’.

Look out for the launch of World ARC 2025 which is due to open in May this year. Interest is likely to be strong again, make sure you register your interest and we will send you the information pack as soon as it is published.

If you are dreaming of sailing across oceans, then the ARC Bluewater Open Day, is for you. We are gathering boats and brokers together with ARC veterans and hopefuls, for dockside chats to mix and mingle and talk about all things ocean cruising at Berthon International in Lymington, UK on Saturday 10 June 2023. The event is free to attend, but prospective bluewater sailors will need to pre-register. 

New to cruising? What to expect from the Bluewater Open Day:

Step aboard a range of different styles of offshore cruising boats

• Learn what to look for when choosing your bluewater boat
• Meet and mingle with cruisers and industry experts in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
• Find out what you need for an ARC or World ARC voyage

“Great mix of people; and a number of boats to have a nose around. A really worthwhile event for anyone starting to plan a blue water cruising trip.” – Chris Regnart, 2018 visitor, ARC 2019 participant.

Show your Boat – Help to inspire other cruising sailors:

If you have been offshore cruising, or have refitted your boat with living on board in mind, we are inviting you to come and join us to share your knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm with aspiring offshore sailors.

It is not about being an expert, but about sharing personal experiences. How you organised your life to go sailing, what you added or wished you had added to your boat. If you sail as a couple, how did this go for you? Did you have a budget for your voyage? These are just some of the nuggets of information we want to share with future offshore sailors.

If you would like to be involved, please register your interest and let us know if you would like to bring your boat along to show during the Open Day.
