Additional costs include flights, transfers, accommodation and food ashore and personal insurance. All crew members will be required to obtain FFV French Sailing Licence, at an additional cost of €80 and ARC crew fees are also payable at a cost of €215.

What to expect

The ARC is the longest running annual transatlantic rally, the 2,700 nautical mile passage on the North East tradewind is a safe and enjoyable way to sail across the Atlantic. With more than 200 boats participating in this event, the rally is characterised by a tremendous camaraderie between all those taking part.

Albatross enters the cruising division of the ARC – under this division, whilst a spirit of friendly competition still exists, the focus is on safety and enjoyment, rather than speed.

An open plane ticket is recommended, as the arrival dates in St Lucia can vary.
