Our Atlantic crossing on the ARC 2021 aboard the Rapier 550

We wanted to do ocean passage on the Rapier 550 'Blue Wonder" catamaran so we decided to join in with the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) in November 2021. We left from Gran Canaria and sailed direct to St Lucia. We loved the trip and it gave us some useful insights into the Rapier's speed vs comfort. Here are some fun facts: Best daily distance: 240nm Top speed: 33kn Highest wind speed: 50kn Discover more about our Broadblue and Rapier catamarans on our other channels: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/broadbluecats/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/broadblue_c...
