The Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) has already signed up its 150th entrant even though it doesn't start until November. The ARC 2010 currently has an upper limit of 215 yachts, which is likely to be reached in April, due to the restrictions of available berths in Las Palmas Marina, Grand Canaria. This years ARC will be the 25th proving it to be a popular way to cross the Atlantic from the Canary Islands.
Commenting on the popularity of the ARC, director of World Cruising Club, Andrew Bishop, said: "The ARC is special and for many cruising sailors it is the "must-do" event on their cruising calendar, whilst for others it provides the inspiration they need to help them achieve their ambitions to set off bluewater cruising."
