Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC)
Since 1990 when the ARC came to St. Lucia for the first time, the St. Lucia Yacht Club has been delighted to welcome its participants.
As in previous years the Club looks forward to greeting all the ARC sailors in 2011 and hopes that they will visit us, participate in the events and perhaps join our Club as Overseas members, depending on their length of stay in St. Lucia.
The ARC is an important annual event for St. Lucia and has the full backing of the St. Lucia Tourist Board and the government, as well as IGY Rodney Bay Marina and the sponsors of the many events organized with a view to making the ARC participants’ stay in St. Lucia memorable and enjoyable.
Over the years the ARC has helped to make St. Lucia a favored destination on the international yachting scene and St. Lucia owes World Cruising Club a debt of gratitude for that.

“World ARC welcomes in 2010 with a Bang! (News article from World Cruising Club Website)
World ARC 2010-11 participants enjoyed a fantastic New Year’s Eve party at the St Lucia Yacht Club last night. With a complimentary barbecue and drinks, and free bubbly at midnight, the New Year was welcomed in with style.
St Lucia Yacht Club, located near the entrance to Rodney Bay on the warm sands of Redruit Beach, provided the perfect viewing platform for the spectacular fireworks display, which illuminated the bay to loud cheers from the revelling crowds beneath.
World ARC participants took no time in joining in with the local crowds in their New Year’s Celebrations, with the street parties carrying on into the small hours. Even with a week still to go before setting sail, it seems the World ARC 2010-11 has already socially become a success!
Many participants have chosen an adrenaline-packed way of getting rid of their New Year’s hangovers today – on the Tree Top Canopy Adventure Tour. Heading into the rain forest of St Lucia’s eastern coast, adventurers zip through the air on 11 different lines between the trees at up to 50ft above the forest floor – rapidly cleansing their heads of any over-indulgence from last night!”
