The ARC race is the largest trans ocean race of its kind in the world. Over 200 yachts take part and the race division is hotly contested. Conceived as a friendly race for cruising yachts to make the Atlantic crossing both safer and more enjoyable, it has evolved into competitive event but still retains its original friendly ethos.<\/em><\/p>\n

Performance Yacht Racing realise the importance of bringing the crew together and preparing them, as a team, for a long distance race like the ARC Transatlantic. We offer a pre-race programme in the Canaries that ensures you are prepared and confident around your yacht before the race start. During the pre-race programme you can expect to take part in a range of activities, carried out onshore, alongside in the marina and out on the water, to include safety briefings, sail changes and manoeuvres, as well as covering the use of spinnakers and downwind sailing. This pre-race programme will also involve the purchasing and stowage of provisions, social events and will allow you to attend a variety of seminars as offered by the ARC race organisers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Join the winners! In 2010 Global Yacht Racing and EH01 won both their division and the IRC class overall and have the pewter mug to prove it. For first timers the ARC Race is definitely the challenge of a lifetime and nothing beats the sense of achievement of arriving at your destination after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Even for seasoned ocean warriors there is something amazing about being propelled across such a vast stretch of water by harnessing the power of nature. Offshore yacht racing is also about experiencing the powerful beauty of the nature, whether it be a serene sunset or a wild gale whipping the tops of towering waves. Or if you\u2019re not into all that hippy sentiment then the satisfaction of being able to say \u201cbeen there and got the T-shirt\u201d is enough! Either way we\u2019ve been doing this race since 2006 and can say that nothing comes close to the feeling of that first celebratory drink on the dock upon arrival in St Lucia after two weeks at sea!<\/em><\/p>\n
