2014 will be a special year for ARC Portugal as we celebrate 20 years of cruising south and discovering the wonders of Atlantic Iberia
Credited each year with introducing sailors to life-long cruising friends, ARC Portugal departs from Plymouth on 1 June 2014 and crosses the Bay of Biscay to Bayona, then cruises south in a series of day sails to finish in Marina de Lagos. This scenic and social rally promises much more than a delivery trip to the Med - visits ashore to explore historic Iberian cities, excellent meals with breathtaking views and the World Cruising Club team on hand in every port make the rally a real holiday.
2014 will be the 20th edition of ARC Portugal and to celebrate a special 20% discount is available for early entries.
