► Conceived in 2013 to ease the pressure on the traditional ARC, which has been taking sailors across the Atlantic from East to West since 1986, the ARC+ has become increasingly popular thanks to its stopover in Mindelo, Cape Verde. According to Paul Tetlow, General Manager of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, the Mindelo stopover has many advantages - especially for family crews. The route, although longer overall, is in fact two legs shorter (11 to 16 days for Mindelo - St. Georges) than the ARC's “direct” transatlantic passage and features a generally more clement southerly route. The stopover also serves to strengthen the bonds between the crews. Arriving in Grenada, in the far south of the West Indies, means there are no questions about the Caribbean program: you're heading north until May, and that's that! This year, no fewer than 91 yachts ranging in size from 36 to 72 feet (11 to 22 m) docked at Grenada's luxurious Port Louis marina. Among them were no fewer than 27 catamarans - a ratio that is steadily increasing in favor of multihulls. On the dock, 434 sailors of 26 different nationalities shared their ocean experience. 37 children took part in the adventure: among them, Lauren, Rebecca and Michela, aboard the Dutch Excess 11 AtC, looked after Archie, the ARC+'s teddy bear mascot... The ARC+, deliberately oriented towards cruising, has no racing division, whereas the ARC does, but only for monohulls. All multihulls are therefore authorized to use their engines, but they are required to declare the times they use them, and an hourly penalty is logically assigned. It can be strategically useful for getting out of an area of calms more quickly and optimize passage time. As a consequence of this “motor-driven” regatta, it's the compensated time that motivates the crews and interests us. Note that 10% of the fleet did not use their engines at all. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

While in Trinidad we've had people recommend a huge range of foods and local dishes to try. Over the last few weeks I've been listening to other cruisers rave about the aloo pie at the Port of Spain Central Market so today I got myself one and I'm SO glad I did! The mix of herbs, spices, potato, chickpeas and everything else stuffed inside the fried bread was delicious. The only question now is which Trinidadian foods should be next? #travelvlog #caribbean #localcuisine #lifestyle #trinidadandtobago

Hier c'étais galère un peu .... Je me suis mis a quais pour recevoir un ami ... Mais sur la partie de ciment.... Après trop de vague de mongole...je regardais pour une place sur le quais de bois ... Sniker par les VACANCIERS qui veulent pas payer de parking (quais) en allant au restaurant... Quand la place c'est finalement libérer ...je regarde autour ...personne en vue ...mais des rafales de fou ...entre 2 rafales je décolle... Toujours personne en vue ... Je suis a 100 pieds du quais de bois ... C'est là que un petit cruser Doral arrive en fou a genre 40 kmh derrière moi et ce garoche la où je m'en allais ... Sans savoir mon ami a u le temps de dire au bateau que l'on s'en allais a cette place ... Je sors mon porte voie et je dit HEY ...C LA QUE JE MEN VA .... TU PREND LA PLACE QUE CA FAIS UNE HEURE QUE JE CHECK ...TU ME COUPE EN FOU ET TU SAUTE SUR LA PLACE ... .... Il me cri 2 minutes... je dit : JAI PAS 2 MINUTES LE VENT ME RAMASSE SOLIDE TU DOIS TE TASSER LA ... il ce tasse et passe a coter de moi ... Je lui dit va essayer de grinder tes défences sur le mur de ciment moi ça fais une heure que je veux changer de place et je PAYE POUR LA PLACE ... il me cri OK MON AMI JAI COMPRIS ...je rentre a quais sans problème... Et en débarquant ... J'ai un TONNERRE D'APPLAUDISSEMENTS de gens sur un ponton ...lollll ça m'a fais chaud au coeur lolll en me disant que je l'avais échapper belle car si le vent me ramassais ... J'étais a finir dans un autre bateau a quais ..... Gérer 6500 livres avec juste 2hp ...dans des rafales de 20-30 kmh de coter ... J'avais aucune chance de m'en sortir... Mais le karma étais avec moi et très positif 😉 .... Ça a bien été!!! Ça m'a quand même pris 2 fois avant de pouvoir réussi A décoller du quais ...la rafales me recollais aussitôt ... Alors content d'avoir réussi ... Avant l'heure des mouches ...un peu tanner des cris sur le quais ...j'ai foutu le camp avant le coucher du soleil sans ramasser trop d'araignée... ...
