Come Home with us in The Atlantic Cup!

Return Rally To Sail from the British Virgin Islands to Bermuda

A great way to come home from the Caribbean! This year's Atlantic Cup will take the fleet 840 miles from Tortola to Bermuda. The event is scheduled to start from the hospitable Village Cay Marina in Road Town, Tortola, BVI after a rousing send-off party. A volunteer crew list will be available to skippers, to help round out crews.

En route, professional weather forecasting will be shared daily by the fleet. Twice daily radio chats will include position reporting and keep the fleet in touch.

The finish and awards party will be at the St George's Dinghy and Sports Club before the ralliers sail on to New England, Europe, or the Mid-Atlantic. Boats can join ARC Europe leaving from the same club.

"We do the Atlantic Cup each year for three reasons ... Security, safety, conviviality. It's a lot shorter hop doing 4 days up to Bermuda, then 4 days over to the States instead of the 7-10 day passage. The need for a shorter weather window adds a great deal of mental assurance to the trip as opposed to the passage straight back."
