Grenada to host ARC+ rally

A new destination is being introduced for the ARC+ rally in November that could bring the total number of yachts sailing across the Atlantic in rallies this winter to a record-breaking number of almost 400.

The ARC+ transatlantic rally via the Cape Verde Islands will finish at Port Louis Marina Grenada, expanding capacity to 100 places. In all, there will be three ARC rallies next winter: the main ARC direct to St Lucia, the ARC+ to Grenada and ARC January (also direct to St Lucia) in early 2022, creating places for 390 boats. This would be the largest number ever to sail across the Atlantic in organised groups.

The ARC+ has been steadily growing in popularity, especially among smaller family crews wanting to make a stop en route.
