By linking the ARC and ARC Europe, you can complete an Atlantic circuit, one of the classic bluewater cruises.  An Atlantic circuit is an adventure that crosses the Atlantic west to east and east to west, cruising the Caribbean and Europe between the ocean crossings. 

Marina de Lagos is the host port for the finish of ARC Europe, and what a place to complete the rally!

These extracts are from one of the daily logs sent in by 'Louanjo' at sea and the mixture of this log book and watching the videos gives a real sense of what an Atlantic crossing can be like with ARC Europe. The videos start with the fantastic start in St. George's Bermuda and take you on the 1850NM passage to Horta in the Azores. Enjoy your time with the Argentinian crew of 'Louanjo' Alberto, Desiree & Martin...

Bermuda is an archipelago consisting of seven main islands and many smaller outlying islands. The main islands consist of hilly terrain and a subtropical climate and are clustered together.

All of the yachts that are participating in ARC Europe will have to pass a Safety Equipment Inspection before the start of the rally. This is for a number of reasons. The first is that we know that all the equipment needed in an emergency is onboard; the second is to make sure that it is easily accessible at the top of lockers and people know where their own equipment is. The final reason is that the safety officers have a wealth of knowledge and have been on many boats and can pass on any hints and tips they have picked up over the years.
