World Cruising Club have reassured the participants of this year's world-famous sailing rally ARC 2006 as well as its event sponsors and corporate partners, that World Cruising and its entire family of events are unaffected by the sad demise of The Challenge Business.

Since a management buyout on 3 January 2006, World Cruising Club Ltd has been entirely independent of The Challenge Business International Ltd and there is no longer any financial connection between the two companies.

Andrew Bishop, Director of World Cruising Club, said, "We would like to reassure everyone that World Cruising Club Ltd, and all of our events, including ARC 2006, are unaffected by the decision of The Challenge Business International Ltd to go into receivership. We do send our best wishes to our friends at The Challenge Business and hope that the company is able to trade out of its current difficulties."

World Cruising Club events include: the ARC – Atlantic Rally for Cruisers that starts in November; AR Europe in association with Yachting World and Blue Water Sailing from Antigua every May; Yachting Monthly Rally Portugal from Plymouth to Lagos, Portugal in June; The Classic Malts Cruise in Scotland every July; The latest event to be announced is the World ARC Rally that starts in the Caribbean in January 2008.
