Here's the latest from the World Cruising Club...
For the first time in 2013, ARC Europe and the Atlantic Cup rallies will depart Tortola together, sailing in company to Bermuda. In St. Georges, the fleets will diverge, with ARC Europe yachts bound for Horta in the Azores, some 1800 miles east, while the Atlantic Cup yachts will sail northwest to ports on the US East Coast. A separate fleet will depart Tortola and head down the Old Bahama Channel, making for Ft. Lauderdale where they’ll be hosted by Bahia Mar Marina.
