ARC 2026 Transatlantic Rally

The dream of crossing the Atlantic
The ARC is a rally organised by the World Cruising Club, starting in Las Palmas Gran Canaria and finishing in St Lucia.
After our circumnavigation in 2018/2019, we're taking part for the 16th time with our yacht Adrienne.
This trip is ideal for gaining experience in long-distance sailing.
We'll spend around 3,000 nm together on our Gibsea 51 with steering, spinnaker sailing, astro-navigation (nautical tables and sextant on board available), fishing and whatever else comes up.
Adrienne is ideally equipped for long voyages with wind and underwater generators and solar panels for power supply, freezer, fridge and complete galley. At maximum capacity of 8 people in 4 cabins, we have plenty of space. Airy cabins all with bathroom and WC provide personal space.
There's a daily briefing where weather and tactics are discussed. Emails can also be sent and received daily.

The Adrienne, a Gibsea 51, is ideally suited for this
We, Tanja and Thomas, have been sailing in the Caribbean every winter for years, have more than 160,000 miles of experience and look forward to welcoming you aboard.
We confirm miles for all German-speaking associations.

As we are often at sea for extended periods, our reply may be slightly delayed.

We can receive short emails at sy-adrienne@uuplus.net. Please do not send pictures or logos.
