Atlantic Rally for Cruisers Underway

By LaDonna | November 26, 2007 | Las Palmas, Grand Canaria |

The 22nd Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) kicked off yesterday morning with 235 boats sailing across the starting line in fresh 20-knot winds. Racers are undoubtedly pleased that the 2,700-mile jaunt to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia is expected to be done entirely in idyllic tradewind conditions.

The 2007 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers started yesterday from Las Palmas.
