JOIN THE WORLD ARC 2018-19 ITINERARY TO SAIL AROUND THE WORLD
Sea-batical, anyone? In 2018-19, 57′ Bowman Sailing Yacht EMILY MORGAN will circumnavigate the globe with the World ARC (WARC) sailboat rally. In the world of yacht charters, this is a once in a lifetime experience.
The World ARC fleet follows the trade winds along a tried and tested route, avoiding storms, political unrest and piracy. This sailing Sea-baticalTM is a mix of long ocean legs, shorter passages and cruising, with organized tours plus social and educational events along the way.
Individual and groups of guest sailors can book by berth rather than chartering the entire boat. You can join the EMILY MORGAN for one leg, many legs or the entire 15-month sail around the world.
Legs are broken up into “months” that range from 19-36 days. The more you sail, the more you save on your yacht charter fees. (See the chart below.)
Capt. Bones says, “As part of an organized rally, a lot of the planning for this sailing adventure is done for us. This way we can concentrate on sailing, exploring and making sure that guests have a great time.”
The rally starts from St. Lucia in early January 2018.(See chart below). It crosses the Caribbean Sea, through the amazing Panama Canal, across the Pacific Ocean, stopping to explore the Galapagos and many spectacular island groups, then on to Australia where we cruise inside the majestic Barrier Reef before crossing to Lombok in Indonesia. The route then takes us across the Indian Ocean to Mauritius and Reunion before skirting the bottom of South Africa, then back across the Southern Atlantic to enjoy carnival in Brazil before heading back to the familiar Caribbean to end in St. Lucia in April 2019.
I have personally sailed with Bones and Anna in Bermuda this past June during the America’s Cup races. Both are expert captains who know the oceans, seas and their beautiful yacht. They have been chartering out of the US, BVI’s and down island for many seasons. This is their dream and they invite you to share it!
Captains Anna and Bones have room for 6 guest sailors in this exciting opportunity. Participants must have sailing knowledge and be interested in the running of the ship. Experienced sailors will work and play and benefit tremendously from sailing with these seasoned captains.
IMMEDIATE MESSAGE from Captain Bones (09.11.17)
A place has become available for this year’s ARC rally from Las Palmas to St. Lucia.
One of this year’s crew has had to pull out of the ARC this November so we now have a place available. If you are interested, or you know someone who may be interested, please get in touch.
Total travel? 26,000 nautical miles and 15 months.
Book by the berth – you don’t have to book the whole boat. There is room for 6 experienced sailors.
This sail-around-the-world journey is divided into legs of about one month each and are offering discounts on multiple legs as you’ll see in the chart below.
