January 2024 saw two fleets of cruisers set off on a sociable circumnavigation, with the 13th edition of the World ARC departing Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, meanwhile the Oyster World Rally fleet also began their world tour from Nelson's Dockyard, Antigua.

The 26,000-mile World ARC route saw 27 yachts start the 2024/25 edition together, heading initially to Santa Marta in Colombia before the San Blas Islands of Panama, where they'll gather for a Panama Canal transit in February, then into the Pacific to the Galapagos, French Polynesia, and beyond. In total 37 yachts have signed up to take part in the World ARC, with some boats switching in and out in Australia and Indonesia.
