Sail magazine tells the story of the 2025 ARC and ARC+ line honours boats

The 2025 ARC and ARC+ events were fantastic spectacles, where over 1200 sailors completed crossings of the Atlantic Ocean. 

The eyes of the global sailing media followed these iconic events, including British magazine ‘Sail’, who reported on both boats which received line honours in each event.

In the 40th edition of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, Nextgen by Jajo (NED) completed the 2700NM to Saint Lucia voyage in just 10 days, 48 minutes and 51 seconds. They will be returning for ARC 2026 with the aim of beating the course record of 8 days, 6hr 29min 15 sec set by George David's Rambler 88 (USA) in 2016.

In the ARC+ Rally, the crew of Enjoy The Silence (LUX), an Outremer 55, made incredible time on their 2,200NM journey from Mindelo in the Cape Verde Islands, in just 10 days, 4 hours and 28 minutes, which was well ahead of the rest of the ARC+ fleet.
