May 2, 2027. Annapolis MD

If you’re thinking about sailing the Atlantic or around the world with ARC or World ARC, whether you’re preparing to set sail in 2028 or still in the dreaming stage, join us for our Bluewater Day.

Meet fellow sailors, experienced ARC skippers and marine experts, and get advice and inspiration to help you on your way, whether you already have your dream boat or are still looking for it. Throughout the day, past participants and experts will share their experiences, knowledge and top tips on everything from bluewater preparation and equipment to life offshore and long-distance cruising.

There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, chat with experienced cruisers and discover the equipment needed. As the day winds down, join us for drinks on the dock, where you’ll also be able to step aboard Falken, Farr 65, and see a boat in the final stages of preparation for an Atlantic crossing. With Falken due to set off on ARC Europe 2027 just a week later, it’s a great opportunity to see how a boat and crew are preparing for the real thing.

A relaxed opportunity to learn, ask questions and start planning your own bluewater adventure.
