'It's incredible to see how far the ARC has come over the past 40 years,' says World Cruising Club Managing Director Paul Tetlow.
'What started as an initial idea has grown into a global sailing community, bringing together thousands of boats and tens of thousands of people with a shared spirit of adventure.' Two new broadcast initiatives have been introduced in the lead up to the rally.
