2022 - On From Darwin
World Cruising Club's annual circumnavigation rally World ARC is setting sail again in September as boats from previous editions and new joiners get together in Darwin Australia for the route back to the Caribbean.
For some it has been a 'long-haul' as the pandemic forced a stop to long-distance cruising, whilst others are setting out from home ports in Japan and Australia to explore new cruising waters. If you and your boat can reach Darwin by early September, we can still accept late entries, subject to boat size and type.
2023 - Setting Sail in January
The 2023 edition has proved so popular that for the first time ever, World Cruising Club are offering two starts on World ARC. The first group of yachts - 'the circumnavigators' - will set off from Saint Lucia in early January on their 15 month round-the-world adventure. A second group - 'the into-the-Pacific' boats will set off 6 weeks later on a similar route that will take them as far as Fiji and Australia. The option has been popular with cruisers planning to spend several seasons in the Pacific and include a visit to New Zealand.
Those planning a round-the-world voyage still have time to join our 2024 edition which was recently opened for registration.
