► 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!

Seit April 2023 leben und arbeiten wir, Sarah und Michael, an Bord unserer Segelyacht Lilo und segeln in der Ostsee zu den schönsten Orten. Mit dabei sind unsere beiden Podencos, Trishi und Merlin, die ebenfalls das Segeln für sich entdeckt haben und uns bei unseren Touren auf dem Wasser und an Land stets begleiten. Da wir nicht nur segeln möchten, sondern ebenfalls die Menschen und die Länder rund um die Ostsee kennenlernen möchten, sind wir eher gemütlich unterwegs. Wir freuen uns über jeden, der uns virtuell auf unserer Reise begleiten möchte. http://www.thenorthstory.de #segeln #reisen #abenteuer #ostsee #sailing #balticsea #lifeaboard #life #unterwegs #thenorthstory
