ARC Bluewater Preparations - Free Online Event

06 September is launch day for the 2022 ARC routes, and to kick-start your preparations we have created a special mix of seminars and live-chats to inspire and support you as you start your ARC adventure.

Our aim is to help and support the start of your bluewater adventure by offering guidance to give some focus to your boat and personal preparation. We have prepared an exclusive website full of useful information to help you get ready for the ARC and have organised a series of live zoom sessions.

ARC Bluewater Preparations 06-10 September is open to all, and free to attend. You'll find it especially beneficial if 2022 is going to be the year for your ARC.

Running over 5 days, the event forms part of the ARC Bluewater Preparations seminar programme. Activities are a mix of pre-recorded seminars, carefully selected video playlists, and live-chat events where you can ask questions direct to the experts.
