Historians argue as to whether the Vikings, an Irish Monk or others were the first to cross the Atlantic. Since the five-week voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492, crossing the Atlantic, quickly and safely, from Europe has always been an important part of seafaring history.
The World cruising Club introduced the ARC Atlantic Rally for Cruisers in 1986, however the ethos was a “Cruise in Company” event for cruisers wishing to cross the Atlantic for the first time. There was a racing division as there was no other option for racers at the time. It was the ARC 2005 that brought Brian across to the Caribbean in the first place!
