Take a look at life on the rally through the eyes of the crews themselves. From preparations and events in Las Palmas and Mindelo, to life at sea and the special moments shared along the way, these photos capture the people, places and experiences that make the rally so memorable.
All photos are shared by our ARC+ 2026 crews, giving you a glimpse of their adventures as they unfold. Check back regularly as we’ll be adding new images throughout the rally!
Join us for ARC Live from the ARC+ Village as we meet the sailors taking part in this year’s ARC+ rally, hear their stories and explore the people, preparations and support that make the ARC+ adventure possible.
New start date: Thursday 12 November 2026
Be part of the excitement as the ARC+ fleet prepares to set off on its Atlantic adventure! Join us for live coverage from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as we capture the atmosphere, meet the crews and follow the fleet as they cross the start line and begin their passage across the Atlantic.
The schedule below shows our original plans for the ARC+ start. We hope to keep the programme largely the same, with the celebrations taking place on a new date.
We’ll be broadcasting live from the Breakwater for the Dockout Show, bringing you the buzz and anticipation as the boats make their final preparations. Then join us live from the water as the ARC+ fleet sets sail, sharing this special moment with sailors, family and friends around the world.
Broadcast highlights include:
You can watch ARC Live on our Facebook page, @arc_rally, or YouTube channel, @worldcruising. Join us for the Dockout Show between 10:45 and 12:00, then tune in again at 12:30 for live coverage of the ARC+ start from the water.
Be sure to spread the word to your family and friends so they can tune in, spot your boat and watch you cross the start line live as your Atlantic adventure begins!
