With World Cruising Club’s ARC Europe fleet crossing the Atlantic and the World ARC fleet exploring Vanuatu in the South Pacific, those dreaming of sailing the Atlantic or around the World can register their interest in joining a rally or attend a series of information sessions and webinars in the next several months.

Published 19 hours ago

The World ARC 2025-26 fleet is in Vanuatu, enjoying this unique archipelago located between Fiji and Australia. The crews will be able to visit a Kastom village and walk up a live volcano (peering into the crater is not for the faint-hearted!), take part in an exchange of gifts and to experience a culture essentially accessible only by boat.

If you’re dreaming of crossing the Atlantic in either direction or sailing round the world, entries for the 2026 rallies will be at the end of the month.  Register online and we’ll send you an information pack as soon as they’re published.

Details follow of our upcoming webinar series, shorebased events in the UK and USA and information about ARC Baltic.
